Constipation isn’t just about struggling with the bowel movement - it’s that constant bloating, discomfort, and sluggish feeling that makes everything harder. When it becomes a regular thing, it’s a sign that your gut needs real attention.
At Aster CMI’s Constipation Clinic, we don’t believe in quick fixes or depending on laxatives forever. Our job is to figure out why your gut isn’t working the way it should - whether it’s diet, lifestyle, stress, medications, or something deeper like IBS, slow bowel movement, thyroid issues, or nerve-related problems.
Our team of top gastro specialists, dietitians, and physiotherapists work together to create a treatment plan that actually works - so you can feel lighter, more comfortable, and back to normal without any complications.

What’s the Best Treatment for Constipation? Here’s What We Do
At Aster CMI, we don’t just hand you laxatives and send you home. We take a step-by-step approach to get to the root of your problem and fix it for good.
Diet & Lifestyle Tweaks
Small changes make a big difference. Our expert dietitians help you eat the right fibre, drink enough water, and add gut-friendly foods - without any restrictions.

If the muscles responsible for passing stools aren’t working right, we teach you exercises and techniques to fix the issue.
Medical Management
If needed, we prescribe safe, effective treatments that relieve constipation without making you dependent on medication.
Advanced Testing
When we need more answers, we use tests like colonoscopy, motility studies, and anorectal manometry to find out exactly what’s going on inside your gut.

For severe, long-term cases that don’t respond to other treatments, we offer advanced solutions like biofeedback therapy and surgery.
The goal? Real, lasting relief - without the constant stress about your gut.
