HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, some time such constipation could be due to chronic protozoa infection and in my opinion it can be given try with "Tab Metronidazole 40 mg" twice in day for 10 days, along with this, drink more water, have fiber containing diet, keep regular habit of defecation even in a absence of impulses, still be inside and sit there for a while no matter if no stool passes, no need to exert the force, hope this is information helps, take care and have a nice day.
