Increase water: Treating constipation at home involves increasing per day fluid intake (2.5 liters for female, 3.5 liters for male), increasing fiber content of diet (more fruits and vegetables, apple/prune juice or fiber supplement), and using a stool softener for 1-3 days. Make sure not to strain as this can cause rectal hemorrhoids and bleeding)
