I am a 34 year old woman. I have severe constipation. I had urinary Track Infection that lasted for more than a month. But it's medications or other side effects lead to constipation. It initially subsided with Duphalac. But relapsed again for last 4-5 days. It's neither going by Duphalac nor Isapgol. I took home enema day before yesterday, that solved it for that day. But yesterday it happened again so I didn't take enema.
