You are probably constipated and if u are then u need some laxatives or stool softeners (they are different laxatives pushes the fecal matter out faster and stool softeners help to prevent constipation) Here are some OTC medications that u can buy MOM is Milk of magnesia that targets two symptoms: upset stomach and constipation. As a laxative, it pulls water into the intestine and increases the urge to have a bowel movement. It can take anywhere from 30 minutes to one hour to get results. For constipation, the usual dose is two tablespoons taken once or twice daily. Don't use it for more than two weeks unless your doctor prescribes it
If that does not work then u need to see a doctor about it.
Good Luck!!!

I'm a nurse. The clear mucous you see is perfectly normal. It's the fluid that helps you have a bowel movement. I would recommend you take a laxative. You can also take fiber OTC powder (take as directed), it works great. You can take prune juice, apple juice, or more fruits and veggies. All these things are options for you to try. You really don't need to see a doctor for this unless you are still having the same problems after trying all these things. Take care and you are OK.

You're constipated. Our bodies need alot of water and fiber in our diets to stay regular. You need to start eating some high fiber foods ie: cereals in the morn. fruit, veg. and alot of water.
You can also buy an otc med. to help you at the moment. There are some that are'nt harsh, there very gentle. Ask the pharmacist.

Drink 2 large glasses of water every 1/2 hour until you go poo. You are constipated and need to try to flush out your bowel. Even try taking Senekot before bed, its a natural laxative.

You are constipated and could have a bowel obstruction. I would contact your physician. You could try a stool softener, or a fleets enema.
