Suggest Treatment For Constipation For 4 Months
Sir, My wife is suffering from severe constipation since last 4 months. Recently she had incidences of vaginal bleeding in the days when she wasn t having periods. We got her ultrasound and heamogram. Heamogram report looks normal but Ultrasound report says that there are small significant Gut loops seen. She constantly complains of abdominal pain and her stomach has also enlarged (looks like she is pregnant while she is not). Kindly suggest what should be done? She is currently in Karnal. Which doctor should we consult there? thanks & Regards Vinay Chawla

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
This may be r related to IBS andchronic constipation (spasms). That is particularly true when you consume foods like nuts or popcorn that would trigger spasms of the bowel.
I suggest to run colonoscopy to exclude organic problems first.
With regards to finding blood floating in the toilet after you pass the motion, that would be related to possible:
- fissures due to chronic constipation
- hemorrhoids
In both cases, you need to take measures to reduce constipation that would trigger such problems:
- do more physical activity
- increase water consumption
- take more foods high in fiber content
- fiber supplements can help
- can use laxatives once in a while to improve the symptoms
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
