Question 1

can't pass bowl movement. take stool softened and have dierria pains still in left side  back what to do?

Accepted Answer

Work from below: When you have a strong urge to have a bowel movement and can't, work from below. Try inserting a glycerin rectal suppository or a dulcolax suppository. If this is unsuccessful, administer a fleets enema. You could also try a low tap water enema. If these fail you may have to be manually disimpacted by a professional especially if you have abdominal discomfort or distension.

Question 2

i can't pass a stool but i can pass wind. there seems to be a layer of something blocking the movement. is this just constipation?

Accepted Answer

Could be: you  may need to be scoped if sumptoms persist.

Question 3

what causes blood in stool? (bowl movement)(

Accepted Answer

Blood in stool: Blood in the stool is from bleeding in the lower gastrointestinal tract.  This could be from many things such as hemorrhoids, diverticulitis, colon polyps, colon cancer, etc.  You should see a GI specialist for further evaluation.

Question 4

could a glycerin suppository further block stool movement if it doesn't go up all the way?

Accepted Answer

No: Suppositories are only supposed to sit in the anal canal or the very end of the rectum -  if you push them in too far, they will not cause 'blockage'...

Question 5

bright red blood in 2 stools after scratching. no movement since last night but have no pain and don't have bleeding when i'm not having movements.

Accepted Answer

Superficial: If the blood is bright red and is on top of the stool it may be from external hemorrhoids or an anal fissure. Have a rectal exam if the bleeding persists.

Question 6

i have sharp pains in my kidney areas when i have stool movement. is this normal? what could it mean?

Accepted Answer

: Pain with stooling is not considered 'normal'.  The location of the pain in 'kidney areas' suggest one might be having chronic constipation or other bowel/ internal organs - like the urinary system issues. Best to see PCP or Gastroenterologist  to determine what next,

Question 7

my body holds stool, so about once a week (or 2) i give myself an enema after a movement. the problem is that it takes several hours for it to be done?

Accepted Answer

Seek help: Encopresis/chronic constipation may indicate an underlying colonic problem that needs evaluation and may be treatable with dietary changes, increased fiber and fluids, stool softeners, scheduling evacuation times, etc..

Question 8

has blood in stool this is sometime when i have a bow movement.

Accepted Answer

Blood : Blood in stool during a bowel movement can be due to hemorrhoids, rectal fissures, even cancer. It is very important you go in to see your doctor for an examination and determination of the cause of your bleeding right away.
Good luck.

Question 9

i had a bowel movement and my stool was sorta yellow. could it be something i ate?

Accepted Answer

Changed stool color: The color of stool varies with foods, speed of emptying of the GI tract, medications & supplements ingested, gut flora (unique for each individual), additives (like blood), subtractions (like absent bile), infection, inflammation, & other factors. Consider what you ate in the last few days, but if yellowish color is unusual for you & persists or is accompanied by other symptoms, see your doctor.

Question 10

had yellow/brown stools for a week now only 1 movement a day as normal but it sometimes firm other times urgent and loose should i worry?

Accepted Answer

I wouldn't: I believe the two main possibilities are that you had a viral gastroenteritis or mild food poisoning which has resolved on its own, and now your stools are gradually returning to normal. Or you have Irritable Bowel Syndrome--a disorder of normal bowel function which results in cramping, abdominal pain, bloating,gas, diarrhea and constipation. It is managed with increased fiber/other dietary change
