Constipation that has been going on for around three months usually means the bowel habits have become slow due to diet, lifestyle, or sometimes an underlying issue like low fibre intake, dehydration, thyroid imbalance, stress, or irregular meal timings. It often feels worse when stools become hard, you have to strain, or there is a sense of incomplete emptying. In many people, improving daily habits makes a big difference, like drinking enough water, adding more fruits, vegetables, and fibre-rich foods, and avoiding long gaps between meals. Regular physical activity, such as walking, can also help the intestines move better. Relying only on medicines without correcting lifestyle may give temporary relief, but the problem can come back again. Since this has been persistent for months, it would be better to get a proper check-up before starting any strong laxatives or long-term medications. A doctor may suggest stool softeners or mild laxatives depending on the cause, but these should be tailored to your condition. If there is pain, blood in stool, weight loss, or worsening symptoms, a medical review becomes even more important.
