Hello dear
I understand your concern
Fecal impaction occur due to
chronic constipation, fecal matter become hard and difficult to get poop.
The more the bowel is not emptied the more difficult it becomes to evacuate as the liquid content of the stool is reabsorbed.
The stool becomes hard and this hard stuff goes on accumulating in the gut produce symptoms.
I would suggest to consult the gastroenterologist and undergo
rectal examination,
ultrasound scan of abdomen, colonic transit studies, defecography and
colonoscopy examination.
Following advice will help you:
Glycerine enema for immediate relief
If not resolves then manipulation should be done by gastroenterologist under sigmoidoscopy/colonoscopy.
Once impaction will be relived following treatment will help in long management:
Syrup Lactulose: can be taken up to 30 ml twice a day
Tab bisacodyl at bedtime can useful
Bulking agents like isabgol husk
Lifestyle changes:
Drink one spoon of honey in warm water daily in morning before the bowel movement.
Eat high fiber diet. Every meal should have salads and fruits with skin.
Drink 2-4 litre water daily
Daily evening and morning walk for 30-45 minutes to regularize the bowel movement.
Take more fruits and green leafy vegetables in the diet.
Set Up regular time for the motion.
Hope this may help you
Contact further if follow up needed
