She would never like to share her feelings with others. She would get nervous before exams. There was lot of anxiety about the future. Dr. Rajesh Shah studied her case in detail and prescribed research based homeopathic medicines. In the first two months, the frequency of her complaints was the same. The pinching pain in rectum had reduced by almost 30-40%. The stools were still hard and required straining.

She had to take laxatives daily. Considering her feedback, the next course of medicines was given. In next two months, the intensity and frequency of her complaints had reduced. She would get constipation once or twice in a month. She would get pinching pain only for five to ten minutes after defecation. In those two months, she took laxatives only once or twice. With five to six months of regular homeopathic treatment, she was completely relieved of her constipation. She could stop the laxatives. This was a great relief for her.
