Can be prevented by keeping a balanced diet, proper hydration and physical exercise that is critical for bowel activity. If constipation present high fiber diet, prunes and ripe pears should help.

For constipation - You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for fiber foods. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948 Wish you good health!
