Constipation and bloating
Recently My grandma was suffering indigestion and spondylitis and after taking some some medicine like Naxdom 400 , metrogyl, pan 40 prescribed by doctor her pain and gas related problems have been reduced but she has a problem of constipation. Her stool get stucked in the rectum area and can't come out. Only sometimes small hard stool parts comes out but not clearly comes out and then she feel bloated and uneasy. Doctor suggests her to take laxative like duphalac but taking duphalac 10- 15ml she feels abdominal pain and small amounts of stool get out and create diarrhoea. Please suggest me what should she take to cure this constipation condition and clearly stool come out?

Elderly patients with constipation first need to undergo a colonoscopy to rule out any cause for mechanical intestinal obstruction along with an abdominal scan.
If no mechanical cause is found, then it is due to functional obstruction & has to be treated accordingly.
Next Steps
Colonoscopy & abdominal scan. Consult your nearest Gastroenterologist.
