COMMON CONSTIPATION SYMPTOMS

Incomplete Evacuation

A sensation that stools are still left behind even after using the toilet.

Irregular Stool Patterns

Hard stools on some days, loose stools on others, without a consistent pattern.

Finger-Assisted Stool Passage

Needing manual support to help stools come out — a sign of advanced constipation.

About Constipation Care Clinic, Indore

Specialised Care for Acute and Chronic Constipation In Indore

Constipation Care Clinic, Indore is a specialised centre focused on the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic constipation. With over 20 years of clinical experience, our doctors treat constipation as a condition involving the colon, pelvic floor muscles, and nerve coordination, not just a digestive issue. We follow a diagnosis-first approach, combining clinical evaluation with advanced investigations to identify the root cause. Based on this, we offer personalised non-surgical and surgical treatments aimed at restoring natural bowel movement and reducing long-term dependence on laxatives.

Understanding CONSTIPATION

Acute vs Chronic Constipation

Constipation can be short-term or long-standing. Understanding the difference is important for choosing the right treatment.

Acute Constipation

Acute constipation develops suddenly and usually lasts for a few days to a few weeks. It is commonly caused by changes in diet, lifestyle, travel, dehydration, stress, or eating heavy or unfamiliar food during functions or seasonal changes.

In most cases, acute constipation can be managed with dietary correction, hydration, lifestyle changes, and short-term medical support. Early treatment helps prevent the condition from becoming chronic.

Chronic Constipation

Chronic constipation lasts for more than two months and may continue for years if ignored. Many people rely on laxatives or home remedies for long periods without addressing the root cause.

Chronic constipation is often related to pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, nerve coordination problems, slow colon movement, or structural issues. Proper diagnosis and targeted treatment are essential for long-term relief.

Potential Risks If Constipation Is Ignored

What Will Be the Long-Term Effect If We Do Not Treat Constipation at This Stage?

Ignoring constipation or relying only on laxatives, churnas, or home remedies may provide temporary relief, but it does not correct the underlying problem. Over time, untreated constipation damages the body’s natural bowel movement process (automotility), making it increasingly difficult for stool to pass naturally without medication.

Major Health Problems That Can Develop

If constipation is delayed or left untreated for a long period, it may lead to

Piles (Hemorrhoids) due to constant straining
Anal fissure causing pain and bleeding
Fistula and chronic rectal infections
Pelvic floor disorders and obstructed defecation
Increased risk of long-term or surgical treatment in advanced cases

Lifestyle & Daily Health Changes

Chronic constipation also affects everyday life

Persistent abdominal discomfort and bloating
Stress, irritability (chidchida pan), and disturbed sleep
Long and uncomfortable washroom routines
Excessive gas, unpleasant odor, and digestive uneasiness
Minor symptoms such as hair fall, weight changes, and low energy

Why Temporary Relief Is Not a Permanent Solution

Regular use of laxatives forces stool out without fixing muscle or nerve coordination. This weakens bowel response over time and increases dependence on medication, making constipation harder to treat.

Why Temporary Solutions Make It Worse

Delaying treatment is not a solution. Early diagnosis and proper treatment help protect natural bowel function and prevent long-term complications.

Steps to Get Relief from Constipation

How We Diagnose & Treat Constipation

At our clinic, constipation treatment always begins with understanding the cause. We start with a detailed medical history and clinical examination to understand why stools are not passing naturally and why excessive effort or straining is required during bowel movement.

Book an Appointment

The treatment journey begins with a scheduled appointment where the patient shares symptoms, bowel habits, lifestyle patterns, and previous treatments. This first step helps us understand the severity, duration, and impact of constipation on daily life.

Medical History & Clinical Examination

A detailed medical history and physical examination are conducted to identify possible causes such as dietary habits, stress, medication use, or prolonged laxative dependency. This step helps rule out common and functional causes.

Identify the Root Cause

We assess whether constipation is related to nerve coordination, bowel muscle weakness, pelvic floor dysfunction, or slow colon movement. Identifying the exact functional issue allows us to plan targeted and effective treatment.

Diagnostic Investigations

If required, tests such as pelvic evaluation, colonoscopy, or anorectal assessments are advised to study bowel structure and movement. These investigations help confirm the underlying cause accurately.

Advanced Imaging (If Needed)

In suspected cases of obstructed defecation syndrome (ODSD), MRI defecography is performed to evaluate pelvic floor dynamics during bowel movement and confirm the diagnosis clearly.

Personalized Treatment Plan

Based on findings, treatment may include lifestyle correction, machine-based therapies, colon hydrotherapy, or surgical procedures when absolutely necessary. Every plan is customized for safe, long-term relief.

OUR SERVICES

Non-Surgical & Surgical Options

We offer a complete range of constipation care services, starting from conservative non-surgical treatments to advanced surgical solutions. The goal is always long-term relief by correcting the root cause not temporary symptom control.

Constipation Treatment

A personalized treatment plan based on clinical evaluation, bowel habits, and diagnostic findings to restore natural bowel movement.

Advanced Constipation Treatment

Designed for chronic and long-standing constipation cases where standard treatments have failed, targeting deeper neuromuscular and pelvic floor issues.

Colon Hydrotherapy

A gentle, safe procedure that cleanses the entire colon using filtered lukewarm water to remove toxins, waste buildup, and gas, helping improve digestion and bowel regularity.

Pelvic Floor Exercise Therapy

Strengthens and retrains pelvic floor muscles to improve coordination during bowel movements, especially helpful in obstructive defecation.

Anorectal Biofeedback Therapy

A guided therapy that helps patients relearn correct muscle relaxation and coordination using feedback-based techniques.

Muscle Stimulation Therapy

Uses controlled stimulation to activate weak or non-responsive bowel and pelvic muscles, improving stool passage naturally.

Physiotherapy

Specialized physiotherapy focused on abdominal, pelvic, and core muscles to support healthy bowel mechanics.

STARR Procedure
