What Causes Chronic Constipation?
hey, i have question, actually i do not have bowel movement its been 5 days almost and sometimes i noticed mucus only little bit while poop, i think i also have post nasal drip in my throat cuz i have thick mucus in my throat as well, so could mucus be concern while bowel movement? or is it due that i have mucus in my throat and when swallowing its goes to the stomach and cause to appear in stool though as i mentioned i havent had bowel movement 5 days almost... i also havent drink water at all last two day though i have drunk water yesterday and today as well one battle to didnt got so dehydrated also havent eaten lot i eat two time in a day or so those days... before i was had bowel movement once in a day or sometimes i wouldnt have at all for one day but usually once in a day though now got bit worried that i didnt had it for 5 days almost also i do not have any pain at all or something like that.... btw i had anal sex before long time ago and it was protected and was tested and everything was fine... and sometimes i was fingered myself while masturbating so it was make me pleasure though it never made any problem for me... so is there amy issue i should be concerned? or is it cuz that i do not eat enough those days and havent drink water for two days almost? just (cola) so look forward and thanks!

Hello,
It could be the other way round: people who suffer from chronic constipation often complain of post nasal drip or a frontal headache, since its the body role to produce more mucus or excess sinus discharge when toxins are not eliminated naturally. Since I'm unable to examine you directly, presently it could be because of your dehydration and not be eating as per daily routine, so what you can do is:
-Take old brown rice, green gram, chickpea, green vegetables, bottle gourd, water, papaya, grapes, muskmelon, raisins, dates, orange, pears, guava, apricot, honey, milk.
-Avoid newly harvested rice, black gram, peas, banana, potato, spicy and junk food, late nights, sedentary lifestyle.
-Purgation with olive oil is best and free of side effect.
-Early morning: eat ten cashew nuts and four raisins and drink water after coming out of bed
-Do exercise which increases the tone of abdominal muscles and stimulates peristalsis like:
-Straight leg raising
-Scissor kicks
-Sit-Ups
-Walking, jogging
As constipation is chronic thus consult with your primary care doctor as he will be in better condition as how to approach the symptom, and also, As a rule, one should always palpate the abdomen, and if there is tenderness, never give an enema or strong purgatives.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
