Constipation
Hello doctors, this if for my father.
He has been having constipation for a very long time.
He has diabetes and BP for many years now.
Can constipation be due to sugar medication?
He has to wait for 3-4 days and have things like kayam churan, pet safa and all.
Is there any permanent cure for this.
Pls suggest.
