Constipation Management

  • Keep a balanced diet, eat more fruits and vegetables, and avoid spicy foods, alcohols or coffee. Drink eight glasses of water every day if no restrictions.
  • Increase daily activity and exercise.
  • Practice regular bowel habits; 15-20 minutes after breakfast is usually the best time. Do not hold your urge of defecation.  Do not strain or rush.
  • Do not take laxatives or clyster on your own unless by instructed by physician. Follow-up regularly at the out-patient department.
  • In case of severe abdominal pain, vomiting or fever, visit a hospital as soon as possible.
