I have frequent constipation issues. Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Would you please answer few of my following questions.

How frequently do you pass stools per week? Have you felt any blood in stools? Do you feel pain in the anal area while passing stools? Have you noticed anything coming out from the anal area while passing stools? Have you noticed any loss of weight? If yes then how much?

Any abdominal pain? Do you strain while defecating? Any feeling of incomplete evacuation after passing stools? Have you used any medication for constipation? Any change in drugs for diabetes and hypertension in the past six months? Do you have alternating diarrhea with constipation? Do you feel bloated?

I will start symptomatic treatment and some workup for constipation. Please feel free to ask anything and answer my questions.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I presume there are no alarm features in your symptoms. It may be simple irritable bowel syndrome (constipation predominant). Please start the following treatment and tell me about the response in two weeks time.
