What is the best way to help constipation while in the act of pooing?

Imagine that you are in the moment of constipation so it's too late for eating fruit or taking laxatives.

You are in pain and want to get it out now, what do you do?

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

  • Turn off the light. It actually works! Of course you'd have to be somewhere where this is possible and it gets dark enough.

  • My dad's favourite joke is about a constipated man who went to the doctor. The doctor told him to take a pencil and paper into the bathroom to enable him to "work it out".

    Sorry!

    If you're having this problem a lot then maybe something like syrup of figs would help as a regular supplement. It also has the advantage of being the yummiest medicine ever.

  • Constipation is one thing,something that can be handled with normal pooing behaviour.

    Fecal impaction is a whole other ballgame. If you have a fecal impaction, you'll have to go to the doctor, then they (or a nurse) will stick a gloved finger up your butthole to pull it out. Awesome, hey!

  • Do something about it before you squat. If you just have a sluggish digestive system then you need more than diet alone. There are many stretches and yoga poses that will help with this along with proper diet. The act of pooping is not the time worry about this. But if you find yourself straining, relax. The squatting position is best for elimination but not always possible with the modern toilet. Relax, if you strain too hard you will give yourself hemorrhoids.
