Hello Dr. Sachdeva ji,
Thank you for sharing your detailed history. I understand how frustrating and uncomfortable chronic constipation with incomplete evacuation can be, but don’t worry we are here to help you out😊
✅WHY IT HAPPENS
Chronic constipation habits - long years of straining weakens rectal reflex. Pelvic floor dysfunction - improper contraction/relaxation. Anxiety & depression - affect gut-brain axis (stress worsens IBS). Laxative dependence - makes colon “lazy,” reducing natural urge. Older age (66 yrs) - muscle tone and nervous system coordination reduce.
✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT
✅INTERNAL MEDICATION
1. Triphala Churna (at night, 1 tsp with warm water/milk) – regulates bowel movement naturally, also calms mind.
2 stresscom 1-0-1 after food – for anxiety, depression, and insomnia (improves gut-brain axis).
3 Abhyaristha 20 ml at bed time
✅LIFESTYLE AND EXERCISE
Pelvic floor relaxation instead of only Kegel → too much tightening can worsen; focus on deep breathing, diaphragmatic relaxation while passing stool.
Abhyanga (warm oil massage with sesame oil) + Basti (medicated enema therapy) in Ayurveda are highly effective for Apanavata.
✅DIET TIPS
Warm, freshly cooked, easily digestible meals. Fiber in moderation (too much raw salads/beans worsen bloating in IBS). Cooked vegetables, moong dal khichdi, ghee for lubrication. Avoid excessive tea, coffee, cold food, bakery items. Drink warm water through the day.
Your problem is functional, not structural – so it is reversible with retraining and Ayurvedic Vata-balancing therapies.
Basti chikitsa (medicated enema) is the most effective Ayurvedic treatment for this, as it directly strengthens colon and Apana Vata.
Wishing you a good health😊
Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

HELLO D.R. SACHDEVA,
You have been told you have dyssyenergic defecation which means: -Your bowel (colon ) produces stool normally -But the muscles of your pelvic floor and anus do not relax and contract in the right coordination when you try to pass stool, -so stool comes part way, then “goes back in”, leading to incomplete evacuation
This is not a structural disease (since colonoscopy is normal), but a functional problem (muscles and nerves not working in harmony).
Anxiety, depression, and poor sleep worsen this condition, because the gut and brain are deeply connected.
In Ayurveda , this matches with Apana vata disturbance (the vata sub dosha that governs downward movement : stool, urine, menses, childbirth)
When Apana Vata is blocked or moving in the wrong direction, you feel -constipation or incomplete stools -bloating/heaviness in lower abdomen -strain while defecation -anxiety, insomnia, mood disturbance
TREATMENT GOALS -Normalize Apana Vata-> regulate downward flow -Lubricate the intestine-> make stool soft, smooth passage -Retrain bowel coordination-> through diet, yoga, and relaxation of pelvic muscles -Correct gut-brain axis-> reduce anxiety and improve sleep -strengthen digestion-> prevent toxin (ama)buildup
INTERNAL MEDICATIONS
1) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water =gently cleanses bowels, balances vata-pitta, non habit forming
2) ABHYARISHTA= 20 ml with equal warm water after dinner =a classical formulation for chronic constipation, works by regulating apana vata
3) GANDHARVAHASTADI TAILA= 10 ml with warm milk at bedtime, once a week =stronger bowel lubricant helps release blocked apana vata
4) AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1 tsp before meals if acidity, bloating, or indigestion present
5) BRAHMI VATI= 1 tab at bedtime =to calm anxiety, improve sleep
DURATION= usually 2-3 months continuous therapy
DIET -warm, soft, oily foods = moong dal khichdi , soups, upma, rice with ghee -cooked vegetables= pumpkin, bottle gourd, ridge gourd, beetroot -fruits= papaya, ripe banana, figs, soaked raisins, prunes - dairy= warm milk with ghee at night
AVOID -dry, rough, cold foods -chips, popcorn, excessive salads, beans without soaking -excessive tea, coffee, alcohol -overly spicy, fried food
LIFESTYLE AND DAILY PRACTICES -BOWEL TRAINING= sit for motion daily at the same time (morning after warm water). Do not strain hard, be patient
-WARM WATER SIPPING= start dat with 2-3 glasses warm water
-REGULAR SLEEP= sleep early (10-11pm), wake early. Avoid screens before bed.
-STRESS MANAGEMENT= daily relaxation, meditation, journaling
YOGA ASANAS -pawanmuktasana -Malasana -Vajrasana after meals helps digestion -Bhujangasana
PELVIC FLOOR RETRAINING -Ashwini mudra= gentle coordination + relaxation of anal muscles (focus more on relaxation) -Avoid overdoing kegel tightening (as it worsens dyssynergia)
PRANAYAMA -Anulom vilom=balances vata pitta -Bhramari= reduces anxiety and improves sleep -Sheetali/sheekati= if acidity and heat are present
HOME REMEDIES -warm milk with 2 tsp ghee at night -soak 6-8raisins or 2 figs overnight eat in morning -1 tsp castor oil in warm milk once a week -ginger + ajwain tea after meals if bloating
INVESTIGATION -Colonoscopy already normal -Anorectal manometry= to confirm dyssynergia -Ultrasound abdomen
Your problem is functional, not structural, which is why medicines like laxatives give only temporary relief
Ayurveda works by -restoring natural coordination of Apana vata -lubricating and cleansing the bowel gently -correcting digestion and mental stress together
With diet + lifestyle + internal medications + yoga gradual but steady improvement happens. Patience is key- usually 2-3 months of consistent treatment shows good results
DO FOLLOW
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
THANK YOU

Your symptoms suggest an imbalance of the Vata dosha, influencing bowel movements. This could be manifesting as Apana Vata disturbance, leading to issues with defecation. While Isabgol provides bulk, it might not be addressing the underlying Vata imbalance. Consider incorporating warm oil application onto your abdomen, such as a gentle massage with warm sesame oil. This can provide warmth and lubrication, easing the pathway for elimination.
Let’s delve into daily practices that might help. Try a morning routine of drinking warm water upon waking to stimulate the digestive tract. You might want to incorporate triphala, known for its balanced effects on all three doshas, as it can support regularity. Take about 1 teaspoon mixed in warm water before bed, cautiously at first, to observe impacts on your system.
Dietary approach naturally plays a crucial role. Favor warm, moist, cooked foods that are easy to digest, like soups and stews. Avoid too much dry, raw, or cold foods which might disturb Vata further. Adding spices like cumin, fennel, and ginger to meals can soothe digestion and promote movement. Ghee in moderate amounts can support lubrication and balance.
Regarding physical activity, focus exercises that gently stimulate the abdomen, like specific yoga poses: pavanmuktasana, or the wind-relieving pose, might offer relief. Regular practice of quiet, mindful breathing also aids in soothing your system.
It’s pivotal to maintain a regular routine, meal schedule and sleep pattern to anchor Vata dosha. However if symptoms persist or worsen, consulting with a healthcare provider for a comprehensive assessment ensures safety and appropriate action is taken. In acute situations, immediate medical assessment remains fundamental.
In your case, it seems like the issue can be linked to a condition known as dysenergic defecation, where the coordination between the abdominal muscles, diaphragm, and pelvic floor is disrupted. Although you mentioned your colonoscopy is normal, which rules out structural abnormalities, the problem lies in the functional aspect of your bowel movements. From a Siddha-Ayurvedic perspective, this condition may arise from an imbalance in the vata dosha, which governs movement and flow in the body, particularly the apan vayu, associated with downward movement of waste products.
To address this, dietary and lifestyle interventions can be beneficial. First, ensure your diet is rich in fiber from whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, but also includes healthy fats like ghee to lubricate the intestines and aid in easier passage. Avoid excessive cold, dry, and raw foods which disturb vata. Instead, lean towards warm, moist, and lightly cooked meals which are soothing to the digestive tract.
You might benefit from practicing daily Abhyanga (self-massage) using warm sesame oil to calm the vata dosha, especially focusing on the lower abdomen and lower back. This can be done before a warm shower in the morning. Additionally, triphala churna is a renowned herbal formulation that can support regular bowel movements by balancing vata and enhancing digestion when taken nightly with warm water.
Since you’ve been doing Kegel exercises, consider trying Ashwini Mudra, an exercise focused on the rhythmic contraction and relaxation of the anal sphincter. This can be practiced daily, but make sure to maintain a relaxed and comfortable posture during it. Lastly, incorporating breathing exercises like Anulom Vilom can also help restore balance to the nervous system and indirectly support bowel function.
Remember, if the problem persists or if you notice any changes, it is important to stay in touch with your healthcare provider to ensure comprehensive management and monitoring.
