Q: I am a 56 years old woman suffering from constipation. Recently I had a cut at the end of the spinal cord, near the rectum, which causes difficulty in passing stools. Also, a number of red pimples have developed on my face. I got my lipid profile done 2 months back and report was normal. Please advise.

A:Increase fibre, try isabgol, high fibre diet. Small amount of desi ghee with milk may help constipation. Regarding the cut, it needs to be examined by your physician, may represent, anal fissure.
