DEAR USER
THANKS FOR CONSULTING AT HMM

THERE ARE MANY CAUSES OF CHRONIC CONSTIPATION LIKE IBS, AGANGLIONIC COLON ECT

TO DIAGNOSE THE EXACT CAUSE OF CONSTIPATION YOU REQUIRE A DETAILED EVALUATION OF YOUR HISTORY LIKE WHEN IT STARTED, HOW MANY DAYS YOU HAVE CONSTIPATION, IS IT FROM BIRTH,

YOU MAY ALSO REQUIRE A COLONOSCOPY TO FIND IF THERE IS ANY PROBLEM WITH YOUR COLON

I SUGGEST YOU CONSULT A PHYSICIAN OR GASTROENTEROLOGIST FOR THE SAME

HOPE I HAVE ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION.. YOU CAN MESSAGE ME FOR ANY FURTHER CONCERNS
