Embarrassing, but can someone help with my constipation. anything easy that can fix this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Stay well hydrated (at least 8 - 8 ounces glasses of water per day). Try to get in 5 servings of vegetables and 4 servings of fruit per day – get that fiber in. Stay physically active. There are a number of over the counter laxatives that can be taken orally to help pass retained fecal matter.
