Hi doctor,I have serious constipation problems and Dulcolax is the only thing that works in my body. I take a lot of fruits, tea, and fiber supplements. What can I do?
Hi. At your age, chronic constipation should be thoroughly investigated. Are there any other symptoms like blood in stool, weight loss, or occasional diarrhea alternating with constipation or loss of appetite? I would advise you to get a colonoscopy done as this has become chronic. If there is an underlying factor causing constipation, Laxatives will only provide temporary relief and will not solve it. Hope this helps.  Take care.
