Severe constipation
I had undergone ayurvedic ligation treatment for piles and fissure recently. Over the period of this treatment I was using dulcoflex tablet to keep the stool soft. Now that I have stopped using it, I have severe constipation and the hard stool is pressurizing the almost healed fissure. I am having only veg meals daily which include rice, dal/sambar, some veg dry and veg/fruit salads on alternate days. I drink 2 glasses of water every 1 hour at office for 9 hours. However there is no relief from constipation. I always get the urge to go to the toilet again within 30 to 60 mins of passing stool.

You can take laxatives for your constipation. But you also require complete examination of your rectum. For that you need to consult a Gastroenterologist and get sigmoidoscopy done.
