Constipation is a condition in which there are infrequent bowel movements, hard, dry and lumpy stools that are difficult or painful to pass. This can be described simply as lesser than three bowel movements in a week. Occasional constipation is more common whereas many people experience what is called chronic constipation. Chronic Constipation can interfere with one’s ability to go about daily challenges. Those who experience the later type may also strain excessively in order to have a bowel habit. At one time or other everyone gets constipated. Mostly in such cases constipation lasts for some time and not serious. If in case you have severe pain, blood in your stools or when constipation lasts longer than three week then you need to check with your Doctor.
To diagnose constipation accurately, doctors begin by reviewing your medical history, including any past surgeries involving the digestive tract. They may also ask whether there is a family history of long-standing or chronic constipation
A physical examination is carried out to assess vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature. The doctor may use a stethoscope to listen to bowel sounds in the abdomen, which helps evaluate intestinal activity.
A rectal examination is commonly performed to assess muscle tone, structural abnormalities, or obstruction. In certain cases, an endoscopic examination may be advised to closely examine the anus, rectum, and colon especially when constipation is persistent, severe, or associated with warning symptoms.
At Healing Hands Clinic Ahmedabad, doctors may also recommend specialized bowel function tests when required, including:
These advanced diagnostic evaluations help identify the exact cause of constipation and allow for a targeted, personalized treatment plan.
Relatively, only a small number of people require medical or surgical intervention for constipation. In most cases, constipation improves with conservative measures such as dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, correction of toilet posture, use of prebiotics and probiotics, pelvic floor muscle training, regular physical activity, and stool softeners.
For many patients in cities like Ahmedabad, factors such as sedentary work routines, irregular meal timings, low fibre intake, and inadequate hydration play a significant role. Addressing these habits often leads to long-term relief without the need for invasive treatment.
If constipation does not improve with conservative management, further medical evaluation is required. Surgical treatment may be considered depending on the underlying cause. Broadly, constipation is classified into three major subtypes: normal transit constipation, slow transit constipation, and pelvic floor dysfunction. Surgery may be helpful in cases involving bowel obstruction, anal fissures, or rectal prolapse.
In some patients, neither dietary changes nor laxatives provide adequate relief. One such condition is Obstructed Defaecation Syndrome (ODS). When ODS is associated with structural abnormalities such as rectal prolapse, Stapled Trans Anal Rectal Resection (STARR) has shown beneficial results. The STARR procedure was introduced by world-renowned colorectal surgeon Dr. Antonio Longo and has been proven to significantly improve symptoms of constipation when performed for appropriate indications.
At Healing Hands Clinic Ahmedabad, treatment for constipation is personalised based on detailed evaluation, ensuring that patients receive the most appropriate combination of conservative care or advanced surgical options when required.

At Healing Hands Clinic Ahmedabad, we begin by identifying the root cause of constipation whether functional or structural. Our approach combines a fiber-rich diet, pelvic floor physiotherapy, patented plant-based medicines like Constac / ConstacPlus, and biofeedback therapy when needed.

If you are experiencing fewer than three bowel movements per week, straining frequently, passing hard stools, noticing bleeding, or persistent discomfort, it’s time to consult a specialist. At Healing Hands Clinic Ahmedabad, we use detailed diagnostics to pinpoint the cause and provide targeted, personalized treatment.
Many patients with functional or mild constipation respond well to non-surgical treatments such as plant-based medicines, dietary and lifestyle adjustments, physiotherapy, and biofeedback. These methods often restore normal bowel function without requiring surgery.
For structural or refractory cases, Healing Hands Clinic Ahmedabad offers STARR (Stapled Trans-Anal Rectal Resection) and other corrective procedures to relieve obstruction and restore regular bowel function. These minimally invasive techniques ensure faster recovery and minimal post-operative discomfort.
Our specialists use advanced diagnostic techniques such as MRI Defecography, Anorectal Manometry, and imaging tests to distinguish between functional issues (e.g., pelvic floor dysfunction) and structural problems (e.g., rectal prolapse or rectocele). This ensures precise diagnosis and a customized treatment plan for each patient.
