I haven't poop for a week now!! DX Any Specialist Doctors that can help me with my problem please!?? Thank you!?

Question

I need a doctor to answer my question please. So, I haven't been pooping for a week and I feel that my tummy is really full, I wanted to decrease the things inside my body, but I can't, sometimes I feel the urge of going to the comfort room, but when I'm there it won't go.. I've been pooping regularly everyday before going to school, but I think since I've been taking some medicines and vitamins for my nose (cause it's bleeding every time it's hot) My regularly bowel stops. I wanted to know if the medicines are the cause of my problem,or there is something I need to do.. PLEASE HELP ME??!! Thank you so much!! :')

Many drugs have constipation as a side effect. Opioid pain killers are the most notorious. You can get information from the Internet or from your pharmacist.

If you had a bowel obstruction you most likely would be in severe pain. I assume that is not the case. If so, see a doctor now.

I'm a big fan of prune juice. If you have no kidney disease, you could take one Fleet enema. (Overusing these can lead to serious problems.) Or a Dulcolax suppository. You could take two Dulcolax overnight tablets followed by a capful of Miralax mixed in any liquid.  If no results, try your doctor.

Remember to eat a diet high in fiber.

I'd go to your doctor. Or schedule an appt. with a gastroenterologist to help your bowels release.

You should go see the doctor that prescribed your medicine he can tell you better than anyone on here
Or you can read the book"Everybody poops" for insight
