Hi doctor,
I have not passed stool from the past eight days. This is the third time I am constipated, the last two times it got fixed within 2 to 3 days. I have tried everything, and yesterday I went to a doctor, who gave me a lot of medicines. I took all the medicines yesterday night as well as today morning, but still, it did not help. I did pass a little stool midnight, but it was very less. I am attaching the medicines list. I have to strain a lot to pass stool, and I always feel a little stool is stuck in my anus. Will I die of constipation? My doctor told me if I do not pass stool today, he will do an enema. Am I suffering from a pelvic floor disorder? What is blocking my rectum? How to fix this? I am just an 18 year old male, and I see my friends playing and going to college, and I am stuck with this problem.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- You have severe constipation, for which we need to clear the impaction. If you are passing gas and there is no distention of abdomen, then we can give a dose of laxatives, although you may require more doses.
- I suggest you get an x-ray abdomen and share the report. I suggest you try doing the following.
- Try taking Peglec powder (combination of Sodium bicarbonate, Sodium and Potassium chloride, Sodium sulfate, and Peg-electrolytes), one packet in two 2 liters of water, after this you will pass loose stools. If the stool is not like water, then you can take one more dose.
- Once it gets cleared, then try taking a maintenance dose of laxatives. I suggest Laxopeg (Polyethylene Glycol), two sachets, once a day at night.
- Take a high-fiber diet. Drink plenty of water. Avoid junk foods. You will need to take laxatives for a long time.
Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines after their consent. Review back as per your requirement.
