Suggest Medication For Constipation And Frequent Bowel Movement

I feel the urge to have a bowel movement constantly. There is no blood in the small amount of stool that is excreted. Maybe I am eating too many prunes and dried figs? I also use Polyethylene Glycol. If I don t use Polyethylene Glycol, I have constipation. My main concern is why I feel the urge to have a bowel movement, even after I have had a bowel movement. Thank you for any insights you can give me. C. Feild YYYY@YYYY

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted that your major problem is feeling of urge to have bowel movement even after you have passed motion.
That you can not stop Polyethele Glycol as stoppage causes constipation.
I think of the following in such a situation:
- To try saline soap water enema with help with paramedic and get bowel cleaning once.
- start on pre and probiotics.
- Change over to another laxative like Cremaffin plus or Isabgol husk.
- See the response.
- Investigation of stool for three consecutive days.
- Tests of blood for routine and thyroid functions
- Colonoscopy, CT scan of the abdomen to rule out any mechanical problems.
- Once you get the cause, get a proper treatment.
You will be fine.
