Hydrate better: First, drink more water. Constipation can be exacerbated by being poorly hydrated. Second, use something like Miralax (polyethylene glycol) to soften your stools and get more regular.

Constipation: I suggest an enema via the rectum. You may need to loosen things up from below. Make sure to stay hydrated!
