Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have been suffering from severe constipation and mucus in my poop. I do not drink enough water. How to treat this condition?

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and understood your concern.

A lack of a fiber diet, more fatty foods, and less water can lead to such a clinical presentation. So, I suggest you follow the instructions mentioned below.

1. Include more fiber and fruits in your diet.

2. Drink lots of water.

3. Eat cooked oatmeal that helps in soothing the stomach.

4. Avoid excess spicy foods.

5. Avoid smoking and stress.

I also suggest you do a stool routine micro examination and occult blood test.

I hope this has helped you.

Thanks and regards.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
