What to do if i am getting constipated and i don't kno why!?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Constipated: A change in bowel habits over age 40 calls for a workup of the colon to rule out something more serious. This usually includes colonoscopy at the very least but might require labwork and physiological workup of the colon. See either a colon and rectal surgeon or gastroenterologist.
