Hi
1. you need to change your lifestyle like:
- use plenty of water
- use vegetables, fruits
- increase physical activity
- use olive oil
- use fiber packs.
- avoid unnecessary stress.
2. if your symptoms still persist you can use stool softeners like duphalac.
3. if you symptom still persiste after 12 weeks with diet and stool softeners than you should go to gastroenterologist.
