Hi..

Welcome to healthcare magic.

You have problem of constipation that may be because of lack of high fiber foods and water intake in diet.

Lack of gastric motility may lead to this type of symptoms.

Hypothyroidism also cause constipation problem.
Intestinal obstruction may ruled out.

Consult a gastroenterologist for further diagnosis.
Start a treatment as per reason behind it..

Bulk forming agent like psyllium is helpful in constipation.

Special investigation like sonography is helpful for further diagnosis.
Colonoscopy examination can done if needed..

Get well soon..
Thank you.
