Brief Answer:
Try Lactulose Enema.

Detailed Answer:
HI

Greetings from Dr.Divakara.P

It is called Inscipated stool, means stool which is completely dry and hard. No stool softner or laxatives will throw it out .

Best way is to get it removed from a doctor by digital evacuation.

One more alternative what you can try is to get Lactulose enema but if it doesn't work then digital evacuation is the only way for you.

Hope this information was useful to you.

Any clarification feel free to ask .
