In the case of constipation due to functional disturbances, one can start by trying to control the problem with
general measures. First, the nature of the constipation involved should be clarified and any erroneous ideas about stool frequency and volume corrected. A change in lifestyle may have a positive impact. Here, patients should start by trying to reduce daily stress. Regular physical exercise can help stimulate the urge to defecate. Patients should not hurry visits to the toilet. They should avoid both suppressing bowel movements and straining severely at defecation. In some cases a change in eating habits can also help resolve the problem. Learn more about Constipation and Dulcolax® Further links Sodium Picosulphate  Constipation
