A Doctor's Guide to Constipation Relief
Finding the Right Treatment for Constipation
Overview
The best product depends on the cause and severity. Most people start with dietary changes and mild laxatives before moving to stronger options.
When to seek medical advice
See a GP if constipation lasts more than three weeks, you see blood, or you have persistent abdominal pain, vomiting or weight loss.
Available treatments
Macrogols (Movicol, Laxido), lactulose, senna, bisacodyl, docusate, glycerol suppositories and phosphate enemas are commonly used. Prucalopride is prescribed for chronic constipation in women.
What to expect
Gentle laxatives take one to three days. Stimulants usually work overnight. Suppositories and enemas act within an hour for quick relief.
Self-care
Keep hydrated, eat fibre-rich foods, move regularly, respond to the urge to go, and try a footstool or knees-above-hips posture on the toilet.
