I haven't gone to the restroom in over a week.?!


Question: I haven't gone to the restroom in over a week!.!?
I can't remember the last time I REALLY went to the restroom so it must be about a week or so ago!. When I say restroom I mean "poop" whatever you want to call it!. And by really, I mean I have only excreted very small amounts mainly because I forced myself because I am concerned!.

I'm not holding it back, I just haven't felt the urge!. I've been working all day out in the hot sun for the past 8 days, maybe that has something to do with it!. I drink quite a bit of water though!. I'm getting worried :( What do I do!? I don't have the money to see a doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
well that all depends on if you have even been eating!. if your not eating barely anything at all then your not going to have any poo other than a tiny bit!. unless you have abdominal pain or bad cramps dont worry!. but i would buy some prune juice, warm it in the microwave and drink a few glasses through the day, also you can buy some dulcolax (ask the pharmacist where it is) make sure you get a LAXATIVE not just a stool softener!. Drink the juice and take the laxative as directed on the package, if u still dont go in a day or 2 and you are having pains you need to see a doc as you could be impacted or have obstuction which is life threatening!. if you find that you start passing small amounts of very loose stool or vomiting go to the hospital, those are symptoms of impaction, also go for severe pain or fever!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well it sounds like chronic constipation!. (i have it too)!. If you were to go to a doctor they would give you a "Fleet Enema"(Fleet Enema: Useful as a laxative in the relief of constipation, and as a bowel evacuant for a variety of diagnostic, surgical and therapeutic indications!. Dibasic sodium phosphate and monobasic sodium phosphate are poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and retain water in the lumen of the intestine!. When administered rectally as an enema, they produce a watery evacuation of the bowel!. Fleet Enema provides cleansing action and induces complete emptying of the left colon usually in 2 to 5 minutes!.) and then some "stool softeners"!. That way you can get cleaned out i know how horrible that feeling is you can buy both these things at like wal-greens wal-mart kroger just where ever and both of them are over the counter and not expensive!.

When you go to the toilet you need to relax try not to think about doing the business this may be part of the problem!.

Drink lots of water, maybe even warm boiled water!.

eating lots of Kiwi fruit is very good, it helps to push the stool out!.

eat lots of fibre

try a wheat bran cerealWww@Answer-Health@Com

There are many home remedies for constipation!. You don't need to see a doctor quite yet!.

Go to your local drug store and purchase a stool softener!. Eat foods with lots of fiber or take fiber supplements!. Prune juice is a natural laxative!. A glass of that stuff can sometimes make all the difference!. If all else fails, you can always buy a home enema kit!. In the meantime, refrain from eating a lot of meat, as that tends to constipate!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

don't worry, i've been constipated for that long!.!.!.i'd wait another couple of days and then go to the doctor!.!.!.don't take laxatives, you could try eating some wheaties or smoking a cigarette!.!.!.
you could be consuming too much cheese!.!.!.cheese binds you!.!.!.coffee can also constipate you (as well as make you go!.!.depends on what type of person you are)!.!.!.

You will poop sometime!.!.!.
it takes about 3 1/2 weeks to a month to become toxic (thats where your binding poop starts entering bad places in your body and poisons you)

good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

You should really go see a doctor, because holding all of that is can be very bad for you!. Your waste forms poisonous toxins inside of your body which can be potentially hazardous to the human body!. It may be a form of constipation, but go check it out first!. Hope you feel better!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should definitely get a laxative!. It could cause you major health problems in the end!. I have a friend who had to get surgery on her intestines because of this!. She almost died!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, I actually think it has to do with what you eat!. You are supposed to 'go' once a day!. I am no doctor, though!. Smart to look online!Www@Answer-Health@Com

ever herd of !!!!CONSTAPATION!!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

You need to go get checked out by a doctor that sounds very serious!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you most likely haven't been eating much because of the heat,but you might want to try some exlax!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

eat yogurt!. dannon has this stuff called activia that works wonders!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Eat alot of corn,peanuts,apples!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Be patient!. If this hasn't occurred to you in the past!.!.then you are okay!. It is normal to not have a bowel movement for a week or longer!. You may wish to try a gentle laxative, and intake your fiber (veggies/fruits) over the next few days to see if you then can pass something!. If you arent' in any pain and don't feel "bloated" then no real cause for concern at this point!. The sun has nothing to do with our body's ability to poop!. Maybe try a little lemon juice in your water!.!.the acidicness too will loosen the bile if there is anything in there that needs to be loosened!. If you go another week without a movement, def see a physican or atleast call the emergency room ask a nurse department!. Most hospitals have them, if not, call Barnes Hospital in St Louis, MO!. They have it and it's free!. You tell a licensed RN your symptoms they render advice for free!. Be well, and I hope you wear SUNSCREEN!Www@Answer-Health@Com
