Biofeedback Therapy for Constipation in Delhi
Around 40% of people with chronic constipation push with the wrong muscles — the anal sphincter tightens instead of relaxing. No laxative fixes that. Biofeedback uses manometry sensors and a screen to show you what your muscles are doing, and trains the correct pattern in a handful of sessions.
Who benefits
Dyssynergic defecation proven on anorectal manometry; incomplete evacuation and straining; faecal incontinence with weak sphincters; some children with chronic constipation.
What a session involves
A small sensor catheter is placed; you watch the pressure trace and practise coordinated relaxation and pushing with the therapist's guidance. 45–60 minutes, typically 4–6 sessions a week or two apart, plus home exercises.
Results
International studies and Dr Paliwal's own experience show lasting improvement in 70–80% of dyssynergia patients, most of whom stop laxatives.
Delhi's first
Biofeedback has been offered in PSRI's luminal GI lab since 2010, the first such programme in a private hospital in Delhi.
Why patients choose Dr Paliwal for biofeedback therapy

- 22+ years at Medanta, Artemis and PSRI — the complex cases other doctors refer.
- Delhi's first luminal GI & motility lab — breath tests, manometry, pH studies and biofeedback done in-house, not outsourced.
- No unnecessary tests. The phrase patients use most in 265+ Google reviews.
Questions about biofeedback therapy
Is biofeedback painful?
No. It is a training exercise, not a procedure.
How soon does it work?
Most patients notice easier evacuation after 2–3 sessions; the full course consolidates the change.
