Hello, I am Dr. Romain Rajan, General Physician. Your case has been allotted to me. I understand your concern. Passing hard stool initially followed by softer stool, despite a high-fibre diet and good water intake, is a common sign of functional constipation — meaning the intestines are a bit sluggish or the stool stays longer in the rectum, causing the front part to harden. Since your sugar, thyroid, and ultrasound are normal, this is more likely related to bowel habits rather than any disease. 1. Advices Try to fix a specific toilet timing every morning (preferably 15–20 minutes after breakfast). Add 1 tablespoon of Isabgol husk (psyllium) in warm water or milk at bedtime daily. Include natural laxative foods like papaya, soaked raisins, and warm lemon water early morning. 2. What to Monitor Frequency, consistency, and ease of stool passage. Any blood in stool or persistent pain while passing stool. 3. Management Kayam or Zandu Nityam tablets contain herbal laxatives (mainly Senna), which stimulate bowel movement. While occasional use is safe, taking them daily for long periods can make your intestine dependent on them over time, leading to weaker natural bowel contractions. It’s better to: • Use them only 2–3 times a week if needed, not every day. • Gradually switch to bulk-forming laxatives like Isabgol or Cremaffin Natural. • For chronic constipation, a mild medicine like Lactulose syrup (15 ml at bedtime) is safer for longer use under medical advice. 4. When to Consult a Doctor Immediately If constipation persists despite all measures for more than 3 weeks. If you notice blood, unexplained weight loss, or severe abdominal pain. Every patient’s situation is unique. With proper hydration, fixed toilet timing, fibre intake, and gradual reduction of stimulant laxatives, your bowel pattern can normalize completely without long-term dependence. 👉 You can reach out to me directly for this case, and also connect with me in future for any medical consultation. I am available on Practo or on WhatsApp at 85271646 seven seven for a one-on-one consultation, where you’ll receive: • A customized bowel regulation plan • Safe alternatives to daily laxative use • Quick follow-ups to track your progress Take care, wishing you good health. Best regards, Dr. Romain Rajan General Physician

Taking any medicine for constipation for long time, kind of habituates  the bowels and they do not move on their own. Take high fiber diet  fruits like orange, pappaya regularly. Drink hot water before sleeping and after getting up in morning. Do regular physical exercise and some  yoga exercises for constipation. Try to train your bowels. Go to the toilet and sit for some time, at a fixed time daily, trying to pass bowels adequately .
