For some reason i am only able to have a bowel movement every approx. 10 days?what can i do.my stomach get really hard and i keep getting stomach pain

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Constipation: Youre likely constipated due to your fentanyl patch. Try over-the-counter MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) or colace for stool softeners. If still persistent ur md can prescribe you other meds.
