💡 Causes include: low fiber diet, not enough water, lack of exercise, certain medications, and even travel.
Tips for Prevention & Relief:
✅️Eat more fiber (fruits, veggies, whole grains)
✅️Drink 6–8 glasses of water daily
✅️Stay active,even walking helps bowel movement
✅️Go when you feel the urge, don’t hold it in
💊Short-term OTC Relief (if needed):
1️⃣Fiber supplements (Psyllium husk)
2️⃣Osmotic laxatives (Lactulose)
3️⃣Stool softeners (Docusate)
4️⃣Stimulants (Senna, Bisacodyl)
