Irregularity?

Question

This is embarrasing...for the last two weeks I am having the most difficult time going #2! Could there be some kind of blockage? Has anyone ever had experience with this?

Answer 1

if you mean being constipated then you need to increase your water intake,add some fiber,eat more fruits,veggies..if something doesn't seem right to you call your doc...a blockage would have more symptoms then just irregularity

Answer 2

Well, yeah it could be, but that is the last resort. I would not worry about this until I research all the reasons as to why it is happening. Some of the causes:
Medication
Diabetes
Neuropathy
Diet
If you have had this problem for two weeks, which basically most people will experience it sometime or another in their life, here is a list of things you could try:
Drink a lot of water, prune juice or apple juice;
Mineral oil enema
Mix one teaspoon of epsom salt to 8 ounces of water and drink
Try taking colace, which is a gentle laxative with a stool softener combined.
If it gets to the point you have to take the epsom salt or other meds, if it does not react within 6 to 8 hours, contact your physician. I hope one of these ideas will work for you.
P.S. If it is just a case of constipation, if you will drink at least 8 ounces of water at 6 times a day, you should not have this problem anymore.

Answer 3

oh yeah. you are blocked.

My mom took something called Fleet Phospha-Soda. You can get it over the counter. You take it by mixing it with cold water and drink it. She said she had no discomfort, like cramping, she just waited about a half hour, then went to the bathroom...

I had a horrible experience a couple of times with blockages and wish Id had known about the drink...I had to use "another method"....an enema! It was horrible...I had to stick something up my butt and squeeze water in it..yuck! Then I had terrible cramping and pain in the restroom for hours. It was horrible, I got pale, almost passed out...I wish Id had that drink.

Feel better! Hope it works..you really need to get this for your condition!
