Chronic constipation
Hi Doctor,
Till date I have faced typhoid 4 times in my lifetime and their is history of constipation in my family as well (My father and grandfather also had the problem of constipation). Their are times when i dont get motion 4-5 days straight. Feel weak and dizzy in the morning when this happens. I daily need a laxative for freshening up myself. Tried every home remedy and abondoning of foods which are known to cause or aggravate constipation, but no relief yet. I need 3-4 jhandu nityam(ayurvedic medicine of castor oil and triphla) to relieve myself but at times this also does not help. I am patient of PCOD and schizoaffective disorder as well , medication of these ailments also i am taking ie aldectone for PCOD and trinicalm and modalert for schizoaffective disorder. Kindly help and suggest if some test is needed to diagonose the issue.
