What are the methods to overcome constipation?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.I saw the attached files of the medication you sent (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity).You are taking too many drugs, some on the advice of your doctor, others on your own, and changing physicians and medications frequently has disrupted your natural bowel pattern and is causing you discomfort. Also, avoid putting yourself under too much stress, since this will aggravate the issue. I also advise you to improve your lifestyle and eating habits; Here are some suggestions that will be beneficial to you.

Drink plenty of water, a minimum of two to three liters per day.

Drink water frequently.

When you wake up in the morning, drink one or two glasses of lukewarm water.

Eat fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole-grain cereals. Instead of taking three big meals, take small five meals.

Take two to three servings of salads.

Do not take salad along with food, take them separately.

Avoid excessive spicy, junk food, white bread, etc.

Avoid excessive intake of tea, coffee, and caffeinated drinks.

Sleep adequately at least for six to eight hours a day. Sleep before midnight. Wake up early in the morning and train your bowel to evacuate at a particular time. This may take some time but once you develop the habit it would be easier for you.

Walk daily at least for 30 minutes a day.

Do not strain too much while defecating.

I suggest you apply some oil (mustard oil or coconut oil) gently on the anal area at night.

I also suggest you take only one or two medicines. whether allopathic or Ayurvedic, it is up to you. Because too much medicine will harm you in the long run.

I suggest you not to take medicine for too long as your intestine will become dependent upon medicine.

But if you wish to take ayurvedic medicine then do take the following medicine:

Take Syrup.Picrolex (Sodium picosulfate and Magnesium citrate) two tsp (tablespoon) in the evening with lukewarm water for seven to ten days. Once the bowel movements come to normal then you can stop taking it.

Take Triphala Churna two to three grams with one glass of lukewarm milk in the night for two to three weeks.

I recommend you to try all these things regularly and you will soon feel positive results. But be patient as it may take some time.In case of any emergency, you can consult a nearby physician.I hope this helps.

Thank you.
