A member asked:
What to do if i have duchenne muscular dystrophy and have had constipation since 9 days but with soft liquid stools passing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unfortunately......: You probably need to be disempacted. After nine days you probably have a bowel impaction and some of the liquid is able to get past the main blockage. Use of a stool softener and good hydration can sometimes prevent this. Use of a strong enema or laxatives should only be done under medical supervision in this situation.
