I am a 30 years old male. I always have constipation problem. I use to take fibres in my diet. I have consulted a physician too. I did what he told me. I avoid junk food, I don't take tea or coffee, I only take tea or coffee once in morning. I eat soaked gram, dates and some dry fruits in the morning. When I could digest good, I feel happy. I feel my face is glowing. But I can not digest properly always. Usually I spend around 15 to 20 minutes in latrine. My stool is not very hard but it does not pass easily. It is not my recent problem, I have been experiencing it many years ago. I had a neural injury. I had committed a bike accident in 2010. It was a axonal injury. I could not decide what is the real cause of my problem. Please help me.

Hello, Thanks for your query on Lybrate "As" per your clinical history is concerned you need few investigations by your local Doctor Gastro and it is colonoscopy, anorectal manometry, colonic transit study, an MRI scan to rule out injury status. Do follow like this- 1) Exercise most days of the week. Physical activity increases muscle activity in your intestines. Try to fit in exercise most days of the week. 2) Don't ignore the urge to have a bowel movement. Take your time in the bathroom, allowing yourself enough time to have a bowel movement without distractions and without feeling rushed. 3) Do take stool softener at bedtime Cremaffin plus-15 ml with a cup of milk and drink more than 10 glass of water. 4) Extract the juice of half a lemon and add it to a glass of warm water. You can also add a pinch of rock salt or one-half teaspoon of table salt and a little honey to it. Drink this nutritious lemon water first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. You can also drink a glass of this tasty drink in the evening. Hope that helps Follow me with reports.
