Does constipation require operation to cure?

Does it? Mine is just dark hard stone looking stool. No stomach pains or anything else.

Not likely. Constipation is a symptom of something else and not a disease. In most cases it is caused by poor diet, lack of fluid, lack of exercise of not defecating when the urge and opportunity occurs or even taking certain pain killers. In some cases it can be caused by intestinal diseases. You should initially treat it as it is a symptom of something benign. If it persists, you should see a doctor.

Initially take a stool softener to help the stool pass. For the long term you should change your lifestyle habits.

Increase the fiber intake. You can take fiber supplement or increase your consumption of foods that are high in fiber fruits, green vegetables, whole grain breads, etc. This adds bulk.

Increase your fluid intake especially water. 6 to 8 glasses per day. This helps keep the stool softer.

Increase your exercise. Brisk walking, running or bike riding at least 30 minutes per day 3 – 4 days per week. This helps produce peristaltic action in the colon.

Set aside some time to poo every day and if the urge comes over you find a place to use to toilet. Some people hate to use a public toilet and retain the stool to the point of creating constipation.
