Please explain how long is too long to have constipation before getting help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Depends on how often you routinely go. If it becomes painful, or your abdomen hurts, seek medical assistance. There is no "normal" quantity of bowel movements per week. The average population has a bowel movement every day all the way up to every 3 days, but this can vary.
