Constipation since 5 days now

2022-07-14 00:38:07
I feel constipated since 5days now.. I'm able to pass stool here and there but not able to empty bowels completely. I tried all home remedies like prunes, Apple juice and yoga also.. looks like this is not getting better. I don't want to consume laxative. What should I do next?

Feeling of incomplete evacuation is a manifestation of constipation. As it's recent onset, try to identify the trigger i.e. stress in professional or personal life.
Next Steps
Drink plenty (2-3L/day) of water. Take lots of salads and greens. Avoid processed foods. Have a regular schedule of meals and sleep.
Health Tips
If the symptoms still persist after a week, seek an appointment with a Gastroenterologist.
