Answers:

This bm every 2 weeks is quite unhealthy for the rest of your body. You must be very swollen and uncomfortable. All I can do, really, is ask more Q's: Have you ever had a stroke? Are you in a wheelchair? Are you on pain meds? Latent BM's can often be a side effect of strokes and other neurological problems. Do you eat fruits and veggies too? Have you tried other methods such as enemas and even (with medical intervention--high colonic treatments)? Perhaps you need to have your abdomen MRI'D for any type of blockage. There could be a build up of scar tissue from the c-sections, causing pressure on your bowel. I'm not sure how--but you never know. And you should probably try not to get preg any more as best as you can. You really need to leave much more of a medical history and symptoms list for this question to be answered safely--in fact--I'd skip Yahoo 360 altogether and see a Gastrologist, or another practitioner of internal medicine sooner than in one month--if possible. They will ask all sorts of stuff like a complete assessment of your periods and your diet etc--if they are on the up and up. Be proactive--come with the list in your hand and stsart discussing it with the doc.Start charting everything ... Your temp ... your complete diet--the amount and type of bm's ... all meds taken illegal or otherwise--and on and on and on. If there is any blood in the stools you evacuate go to the emergency room.

Start now--by cataloging ALL your symptoms. and all of the above: All sorts of stuff needs to be recorded and shown to the DOC--before any answers she/he might formulate.
Really, only medical proffessionals should touch this Q--not to scare you, as it really could be something mundane, just some build up of scar tissue from the 4 c-sections which will likely need another operation to remove. Could even be benign polyps inside the bowel that are blocking the exit of fecal material. So don't stress too much: scar tissue and polyps are more common than most folk realize. Best of luck and be sure to be very exact in answering the Docs. Q's and in making out your list of complaints and the type, amt. and consitency and odor of your bm's--date them on a claender and be as descriptive as possible Chart your dietary intake faithfull as well. You must feel very toxic living like that so get help ASAP
