Question 1

i have twisted poop sometimes and constipation after masturbation if i stop it its shape becomes normal and constipation goes.reason of twisted poop ?

Accepted Answer

Twisted: Poop is usually s shaped not twisted

Question 2

we have a five month old girl child who seems to suffer from constipation, although the poops aren't extremely hard.?

Accepted Answer

Constipation: If a baby's poops are very pasty like peanut butter then they are constipated. Their poops should be soft and mushy like oatmeal (or even softer). Straining for less than 5 minutes is normal. If the straining lasts more than that they might be constipated.

Question 3

my 13 year old daughter poops her pants constantly. what could be wrong with her she has had issues with constipation but will not take any medicine

Accepted Answer

Before : Before trying to answer this- does she have fecal smearing in her underwear or does she defecate in her underpants with full stools?

Question 4

had constipation iss for yrs, now i am pooping several times a day soft smaller amounts. 1 inch round, soft light brown 4-5 inches long is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Whatever you're doing, keep doing it.  Constipation can cause a variety of deadly illnesses--especially colon cancer.  Bile acids break down into potent carcinogens, if transit time is more than 24 hours, bathing the colon and lower intestines with cancer-causing poison.  Keep your bowels moving regularly, and avoid colon cancer.

Question 5

i go between pebble poops & regular poops every other week. is this chronic constipation even though i have normal poops in between? pebble poops normally dont hurt & are easy to pass. pebble poops started with an injury that limited mobility?

Accepted Answer

: I would not necessarily call it chronic constipation, but if you are not happy with the shape and size of your bowel movements, the best solution is to increase the amount of fiber in your diet and maintain good hydration. Plenty of fluids. Consider even adding in Metamucil once a day. Good luck.

Question 6

i don't poop everyday and don't feel any constipation, is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Stooling: Not everyone poops daily. Many people skip a day. It is more important the consistency. It should always be soft and easy to expel. If yours is normal no worries.

Question 7

how to prevent constipation and being able to poop everyday?

Accepted Answer

Water and fiber: Take fiber foods and drink enough water so that your urine is colorless. If you are not able to increase your intake of fiber foods, you may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink lots of water. Consult this site for fiber foods:

Question 8

how do i help constipation and help produce poop?

Accepted Answer

Changes in diet: Avoid lots of complex carbs, eat more stone fruits (plums, peaches, cherries, nectarines, apricots) and pears, and their juices, twice daily.  You may need to take a medicine like PEG 3350 and/or milk of magnesia (magnesium hydroxide) on a daily basis to aid in softening your stools.

Question 9

i only poop once or even none for a day, any remedies for constipation?

Accepted Answer

Plugged Plumbing: Constipation helpers: eat whole grains, lots of fruit&veggies, oatmeal, psyllium, ground flaxseed, metamucil. Drink 8-10 glasses of fluid a day. Take over the counter docusate, bisacodyl, or MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) (take more MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) when you're really plugged up, less when you're loose-y goose-y). Get moving 60 minutes every day. Good luck!

Question 10

so do i have constipation if i only poop 2 times a week maximum? and does it matter if it's small or large poop?

Accepted Answer

Let's define problem: Doctors define constipation as stools less frequently than once every 3-4 days. Patients feel they are "constipated" when passing hard or small volume stool, or they feel full ; bloated. Have you been evaluated to show you're not blocked, if your gut is sluggish, or your rectum works correctly--these can be tested for (sitz marker study ; anal manometry, respectively).  See a GI specialist next.
