Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you have a severe constipation and can be due to causes like Irritable bowel syndrome while other cause like laxative abuse, lack of dietary fibres, lack of physical activity, stress, side effects of medication, eating disorders etc can be a cause..
I would suggest you to consult a Gastroenterologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like Colonoscopy, blood tests etc can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
You can be advised to take a high fibre diet, plenty of fluids, eat every after 2 hours in small portions, do moderate workout and take appropriate sleep..
You can also be advised prescription drugs like Linclotide and Lubiprostone..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
