Prostatitis and Constipation: Causes, Relief & Natural Solutions

Question
have prostatitis and have begun to get constipation. in fact i have not had a bowel movement in several days. please tell me if this is commend and if so what should i do?

Answer
I am gonna make an assumption and say that you had prostatitis and was given some narcotic pain medication like Percocet or Vicodin.  That will slow down the gut and make you constipated.  The best treatment is more natural, avoiding harsh laxatives like ducolax.  I like using Miralax, (Glycolax) which is a powder... it works slower but without cramps.  Start with 1 capful twice a day.  If you get diarrhea, decrease it to once a day.  You can prob get off it when you stop the pain meds.
