Question

I only poop once a month and when I do its the size of a orange/beachball. Its extremly painful and after I go it hurts to sit down for like a week. What should I do? It takes hours to complete the process. I even use special sitting positions to try and make it come out easier.

Answer 1

You obviously need to alter your diet. You need a bit more fiber. It is not healthy to only go once a month. You could get an obstruction and require surgery and then you would have to poop into a colostomy bag on your stomach. Not fun. Adding fiber to your diet is not too hard. You could have an apple a day, and have a bowl of total raisin bran every morning. A lot of these new diets like Atkins excludes fiber. Not everyone can handle these diets. So if that is what you are doing you need to modify it. There are also all kinds of fiber supplements you can take- but natural is better. Your body will thank you.
