Relief From Ongoing Digestive Discomfort​

Constipation can be uncomfortable, frustrating and sometimes embarrassing to talk about. Infrequent bowel movements, bloating or abdominal discomfort can affect your daily routine and wellbeing.

When symptoms persist or become painful, seeking professional advice can help identify safe and effective solutions.

At Larchwood Pharmacy in Croydon, our private prescribing clinic offers assessment and treatment options for constipation.

What Is Constipation?

Constipation typically refers to infrequent, difficult or painful bowel movements. It may be caused by dietary changes, dehydration, medication side effects or lifestyle factors.

  • Infrequent bowel movements
  • Straining
  • Hard stools
  • Abdominal bloating
  • Discomfort

Because constipation can sometimes signal underlying concerns, assessment ensures appropriate management.

Treatment may include:

  • Dietary and hydration advice
  • Laxatives where clinically appropriate
  • Medication review
  • Lifestyle guidance

All treatment is provided following private consultation and clinical assessment.
