Doctors can examine: A high school student with constipation needs to be sure there is no other disease causing it. If constipation is just due to slow movement of the food and poop through the gut, then the things to try are vegetables, water, fiber with water, prune juice, prunes, polyethylene glycol, Senokot or other senna, milk of magnesia, other laxatives... A doctor can evaluate to check for anything serious.

Remote. Best to see a proctologist for accurate diagnosis and treatment of hemorrhoids if that is the cause.
