Hello doctor,
I am suffering from constipation despite drinking enough water and eating fibrous food. What could be the reason for my constipation?
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Thank you for your query.
I understand your concern. So, even if you pass stools thrice a week, there is nothing to worry about. Constipation has many causes, but the most common is slow transit constipation. So I suggest you to follow a few instructions mentioned below.
Also, do you have pain while defecating or blood in your stools?
I hope this has helped you. Thank you.
