What can be done?
The best thing you can do to avoid constipation is to make sure you have a complete bowel movement, and then adopt a couple of habits that might help you prevent from getting constipated again. To relieve your current situation, drink a big glass of water or a cup of coffee because it will help your system move.
As Dr Bedford said, “Caffeine itself will stimulate abdominal muscles and squeezing and may help people to eliminate”. Also, you can try exercising, because it helps. As last resort, you can try over-the-counter laxatives, as long as you use them sparingly. Otherwise, try adopting a fiber-rich diet, as it helps your bowel movement return to its normal pace.
