I am not able to pass motion properly for a week and my stomach feels heavy. Is it okay to take laxatives every day?

Difficulty passing stools and a feeling of heaviness in the stomach are common symptoms of constipation. While laxatives can provide short-term relief, using them daily is not recommended as it can lead to dependency and worsen bowel function over time.
It is advisable to increase fiber intake, stay hydrated, and consult a doctor if symptoms persist beyond a week for proper evaluation and treatment.
