Chronic constipation may have serious consequences such as hemorrhoid bleeding, fissures, etc. You should recall what conditions precipitated this month long constipation and avoid them. In general, active life style with routine exercise, adequate fluid intake (1.5-2 liters/day for a person with average body mass) and eating high fiber diet. If needed, stool softener can be taken daily.
