7 Constipation Remedies

  1. Ergonomic constipation remedy

    During constipation, the stool at the mouth of the rectum is very hard. Sometimes, hardened bowel is in a wrong angle in relation to the rectum and so, changing your sitting position helps. Do the following:

    Sit on the bowl putting your weight on one buttock only, lifting the other buttock from the bowl. That will put you in a slightly leaning position, either to the left or to the right depending on which side you are comfortable. While seated in this position, give it a push. Before soon, that solid bowel can be expelled.

  2. Water Splashing

    If the above technique is taking long to push the solid out, splash some water into your rectum. This should soften the bowel at the rectum and the bowel will be easier to expel.

  3. Drinking Water

    If bottled water is within your reach, drink it while you are seated on the bowl. This will also help push the bowel from the inside.

  4. Knees Massage

    Another technique is to massage in circular motion your knees using your elbows. That means crouching a bit such that your elbows touch your knees. This motion helps stimulate bowel movement.

  5. Suppository

    Still unable to eject that hard stool? Now we are going to get messy.
    You may try inserting some suppository. A suppository is a hard medicated lubricant that melts and will serve to soften the stool when inserted into the rectum.

  6.  Extraction with Fingers

    In hospitals, medical personnel do this to children with hardened stool or to very sick patients who have difficulty defecating. With the use of the index finger, the hard stool that blocks the rest of the bowels are extracted out. If you can stomach this technique, you will need some hand gloves to do that. But you have to be careful not to get your rectum wounded. Make sure your nails are short. This may sound weird but we have heard some adults doing this in hopeless struggles inside the toilets and they seemed happy with the result.

  7. Think Nice

    You may already be getting stressed and it will not help eject that hard stool. Think about good things to calm yourself. You may try saying a short prayer. Before you know it, your whole system will start cooperating and naturally push those solids out.
