Hello,
I really appreciate your concern, even if it is the constipation then also it may not be treated with laxative but initially it has to be given a try with conservative line of treatment like changing the diet and habit, have more fiber-containing diet, drink more water, and keep regular habit for defecation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Akhtarhusain
