Hello my name is Hikeemah and I also suffer from chronic constipation for years now. Be me pushing so much I have prolapse rectum. To solve your issue and what I do it's a medication called Senna it helps a lot. You can ask your gastrointolgist or primary doctor for the prescription. It works pretty good for me but everyone body system is different. Again Senna and you can get this over the counter. Don't push please don't push!! I know you feel miserable not able to move your bowels the way you used to trust me in know you pain and mental health because of this issue. I wish you well. Please update me when or if you try it out. May God give you complete healing in all areas of your life. God bless you.
