I am taking cremaffin plus and also using pilorute cream which decrease my itching temporarily. Is it ok to take laxative for more than three weeks?

At your age it is not available to take laxative for months together. Follow natural remedies. Take well balanced diet with plenty of leaffy vegetables and fresh fruits. Drink plenty of water. Consult a surgeon
