Havent had a bowel movement in two days.what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need some tests: Normal bowel frequency in america fits a bell-curve distribution--once daily stooling is the middle of the curve, but the normal range extends from 3 bowel movements daily to 1 bowel movement every 3-4 days. If persistently altered defecation, then rule out inflammation, rectal/anal dysfunction, partial obstruction due to mass, stenosis, obstipation, extrinsic, or if a functional issue (like IBS)
