Patient Reviews
Jan 21, 2021
I saw Dr. Kumar for constipation. He spoke of x-rays and meds if I was open to that or he recommended Miramax daily for some time to see how that words. Possibly therapy to strengthen the pelvis floor. He emphasized that If my problems do not improve or I have any other problems concerning constipation and gastrological problems to make an appointment sooner than two months
