You have not given your age or business.
Constipation is due to blockage or slowing down of intestinal movements. This is due to addictions, stimulating spicy foods, stale foods, non fibrous foods, eating without hunger or overeating.
Avoid first three as much you can. Use preferably home made fresh food. Don't throw away bran from floor, avoid using it from shop if possible. Add salads to your meals and use green vegitables as much as you can.
Avoid frequent tea if you do, overeating or eating without hunger.
That blocks the intestine movements.
Do some exercise daily if you don't have much movements.

This might seem odd, but drinking warm water will help. Nothing too hot, luke warm is good. Sometimes I drink tea though and that helps. You can take a stool softener, and a few others have said to drink prune juice and that does work too (so does eating prunes). If it happens more than a few times, you should consider taking some form of fiber supplement. Hope this helps :) And good luck pooping!

You can try several nutritional methods such as increasing your soluble fibre intake, and fluid intake as well. Fibre filled foods include prunes, greens, whole wheats etc, fruit, etc.
Several medications can help as well, such as Colace which will soften the stool, a laxative like Exlax, or an enema, or suppository if these methods dont work.
Hope it helps!

Prune juice is good, Metamucil is good. I like to eat yogurt and/or take Acidophilus pills daily. Depending on your body you might try eating corn, popcorn, apples, applesauce, raisins, plums, grapes or apple juice.
If the problems persist then see your doctor. Better safe than sorry!
