Constipation, Regular Pains In Stomach. Some Relief With Stool Softener, Laxative, Enema. Solution?
I have been constipated for 4 days now. I have had pains in my lower abdomen and stomach every day. Now mostly in my stomach and its very painful that I have not been able to sleep for 3 days now. I've tried stool softeners, oral saline laxative, and an enema which have all be a little helpful in getting me to pass something except there is a large very hard stool that I cannot pass. Been drinking water like crazy. Just want this stomach pain to go away. It is possible that I am pregnant but would be too early to tell with an at home test.

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having absolute constipation giving this problem.
Go for enema for 2 days then take laxative daily at night.
Go for Recti abdominal muscle exercise to increase peristalsis movements.
Take plenty of water.
Take more fiber containing food.
Ok and take care.
