Leave with clear next steps and a personalized care plan. If you need medication, labs, or to see a specialist, your clinician will take care of the details for you.

4

Own your health

Virtual visit with clinician

Ongoing support, always available.

You’ll be supported by experienced clinicians who care for a wide range of health needs, from everyday concerns to more complex conditions.

Our clinicians track your progress over time and adjust your care as needed. If medication is prescribed, we’ll manage dosing and monitor for side effects. If lab testing is recommended, we review results and refine your plan accordingly. You’re never left to navigate care on your own.

All your care in one place. That’s the General Medicine difference.

We help you understand your options, connect you to the right clinicians, manage prescriptions, coordinate any needed evaluations, and keep an eye on your overall health along the way. It’s comprehensive care that looks at the full picture — your goals, your history, your lifestyle — and makes it simple to move forward with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I be having bowel movements?

Normal bowel frequency ranges from three times per day to three times per week. Constipation is clinically defined by stool frequency, but also by consistency, difficulty passing, and sensation of incomplete evacuation — not frequency alone.

What dietary and lifestyle changes help with constipation?

Adequate fiber intake (25–38 grams daily), hydration (at least 8 cups of fluid daily), and regular physical activity are the cornerstones of constipation management. Establishing a regular toileting routine — particularly after meals — can also help.

When does constipation require medical evaluation?

New onset constipation in adults over 50, constipation with rectal bleeding, weight loss, or pain, significant worsening, or constipation unresponsive to lifestyle changes and OTC laxatives warrants evaluation to identify underlying causes.

Are laxatives safe to use long-term?

Osmotic laxatives — like polyethylene glycol — are generally safe for long-term use. Stimulant laxatives are appropriate for short-term use; long-term daily use without clinical oversight is not recommended. Prescription options for chronic constipation offer better-studied long-term profiles.

What side effects are associated with constipation treatments?

Fiber supplements can cause bloating and gas when started quickly — gradual introduction is recommended. Osmotic laxatives may cause cramping at high doses. Stimulant laxatives can cause dependency with overuse. Prescription agents like linaclotide and lubiprostone may cause diarrhea. Constipation visit What to expect from a Constipation visit
