  28-March-2026

Constipation is one of the most common digestive problems affecting people of all age groups. It may seem like a small issue in the beginning, but long-term constipation can affect your daily routine, eating habits, and overall digestive health. If ignored for a long time, it may lead to problems such as piles, fissures, abdominal discomfort, and bloating.

At Relief Gastro Care & Endoscopy Clinic, Dr. Sandeep Patil provides proper evaluation and treatment for constipation and related digestive disorders.
