Constipation may be caused by many factors. Taking certain medications such as sedatives and antidepressants could be one reason. Others could be due to any special diet that consists of soft or liquid foods, which are low in fiber/ being physically less active. There a few ways to manage your constipation:
1) Drink at least 8-10 glasses of fluid a day. this will help soften your stool.
2) Reduce your intake of high fiber food if you are using medications that have made you constipated. These foods can make constipation worse for some people on medications. If you are not using medications that cause constipation, try using high fiber foods to help soften your stool.
3) Exercise regularly. It helps to ease constipation.
