How To Cure Constipation?
On monday night I had a sharp pain on my right side of the stomach, I went to the clinic thinking it was kidney stones but that was uncertain, after 4 hours of being in pain it stopped. I have been drinking cranberry juice since than, and than Tuesday I could pee but could not poop, so I took a laxative and was able to poop. the pain returned for an hour yesterday than went away again. Today I stopped taking the laxative but I am having trouble of pooping but no problems peeing. Should I go to the hospital?

Hello,
Right Hypocondrium stomach pain with constipation may be suggestive of liver or gallbladder pathology.
Just get one scan done for abdomen and if it is normal, then only take laxative otherwise it may cause problems in paralytic ileus or bowel obstruction.
Please consult your surgeon, he/she will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
