Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Stimulant laxatives are commonly employed to treat acute constipation and are the most common class of laxatives used over the long term by individuals taking over-the-counter products.
Detailed explanation-2: -Low-fibre diet – as fibre is indigestible, it adds bulk to the faeces, making it more easily pushed along the digestive tract. There are two broad types of fibre; soluble and insoluble. Soluble fibre helps to soften the faeces. Good sources of soluble fibre include legumes, fruits and vegetables.
Detailed explanation-3: -Constipation usually occurs when stools remain in the colon (large intestine) for too long, and the colon absorbs too much water from the stools, causing them to become hard and dry.
