A. Constipation is usually a very common problem seen in many where the most important causative factor is decrease intake fiber rich diet along with lesser fluid intake. some food like junk food mostly containing maida and oily food can aggravhggate such condition. here the diet modification should be tried first followed by medications like lactulose milk of magnesia and muout powder.
