Hello
I share your concern
Constipation is a troublesome condition and it can lead to abdominal discomfort and you feel sick.

I would advise you to take laxative like lactulose or stool softeners like liquid paraffin 30 ml before going to bed .

since you had it earlier also so I would advise you for certain life style modification like
1. have lots of fresh fruits and vegetables or dietary fiber supplement which will help by increasing roughage in the intestines.
2. Drink lots of water.
3 Drink a glass of Lukewarm water mixed with honey (2 teaspoonful) on getting up in the morning.
4. Avoid fatty fried and junk food

If it doesn't relive by laxative than you may require an enema for bowel evacuation.

Hope I could answer your question, please feel free to ask for follow up question, I will be happy to help you.
Best wishes
