Annoyed

Ive bee constipated for a month or so and I still poop frequently but it's hard to push out and feels like I havnt fully emptied. I need to poop now sorry it's a bit tmi but I'm debating squatting down because it just isn't coming out and I'm straining when I'm sat on the lol even though I need to go.

Have you tried rocking back and forth?

There's no shame in squatting. Sometimes that can help move things through. Just remember to put some toilet paper down first

If it's gone on this long you may have a blockage. Have you contacted a doctor? Also, have you been drinking enough liquids/water and having enough vegetables or roughage to help with the constipation? Here is something I found that has a lot of info about this stuff. Hope it helps.

I had a flexible sigmoidoscopy yesterday and it showed hemmorhoids but nothing else and no inflammation . Coukd it be further in my bowel? The higher she went then ore painful it got and kreached excruciating. I eat fairly well and drink so much water
