Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

This much intensity of constipation warrants definite evaluation to find out the cause. I strongly recommend colonoscopy if not done.

Certain guidelines to get help to some extent:
• Consume plenty of liquids round the day
• Diet rich in high fiber, green leafy vegetables, whole grains, legumes, pulses, fresh curd
• Avoid more oily, spicy, non-vegetarian stuffs, and junk foods
• Remain ambulatory regular walking in fresh air, exercises, and yoga help
• Avoid sleeping at least up to 2 hours after meals
• Avoid prolong fasting and overeating
• Avoid smoking, alcohol, any abuse substances, if any
• Have regular sound sleep of 7 to 8 hours

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
