Unable To Pass Stools Without Laxative. Stomach Pain, Cramping, Sticky White Substance In Stool. What Should I Do?
I have been unable to defecate without the use of a laxative for about 1 week now. I have not taken any laxatives within about 4 days but i still have some stomach pain and cramping. Also, I was able to defecate a very small amount of stool nearly 10 minutes ago that had some sticky white substance clinging to it. There is no blood in my stool. What should I do?

Hi, many thanks for the query!
You need to do- Stool (Culture & Microscopy), CBC, ESR, USG (Abdo-Pelvis).
You haven't mentioned your age.
Take antibiotics according to reports, antispasmodics, antacids, pre- & pro-biotics with your doctor's opinion.
Eat high fibre diet, drink plenty of water.
Wish you a good health.
Take care.
