To get rid of constipation fast, several effective methods can be tried:

1. Take a fiber supplement or eat high-fiber foods like oats, whole grains, fruits (apples, bananas), vegetables (broccoli, carrots), beans, and nuts to add bulk to stool and help it pass more easily.
2. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water or warm liquids, which can soften stools and stimulate bowel movements.
3. Use over-the-counter options such as stool softeners (docusate sodium) or laxatives (lubricant laxatives like mineral oil, or suppositories) for quicker relief.
4. Try positional changes like squatting on the toilet by placing feet on a small stool to align the rectum better for easier elimination.
5. Engage in light exercise (walking, yoga) to stimulate bowel movement.
6. Consider natural remedies such as prune juice, olive oil, lemon water, and probiotics to promote digestion and stool softening.
7. Abdominal massage (colonic massage) may help stimulate the bowels in some cases.

For relief within 30 minutes, warm liquids, gentle abdominal massage, and light exercise are recommended. If constipation persists or is severe, medical advice is advised to rule out underlying conditions and consider prescription treatments. These methods offer both immediate and sustained relief by addressing stool softness, bowel motility, and hydration.
