Constipated. Stool Has White Stuff Init. Is That A Problem?
i have been constipated for about 5 days but ive been getting out a little bit everyday, but not as much as i should be. i just went a bit more and there was some white tissue looking stuff mixed in with it. i dont know if i should just keep trying to go, or go into the doctors. i have no primary doctor right now and no insurance so im trying to avoid going in. any opinions?

Hello! Ithink some white tissue which you are mentioning is mucus. You need to take some laxative may be stool softener like isabghola 2-3 tsf/ day at night with a glass of water which may be increased gradually for complete relief. If that doesnt help then stimulant like picosulphate or bisacodyl can be added. Take lots of fibres in diet (salaad) and lots of fluid also. I hope this will help you. keep in touch
