Help doctors! what're the treatments for fecial impactation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
My suggestions:: Assuming no rectal/colon diseases: 1) Manual disimpaction (use your finger) 2. Dulcolax suppository (OTC) 3. Enema (soap suds or mineral oil is gentlest) 4. Magnesium citrate (OTC) - will give you cramps 5. If those don't work, go to your doctor or an urgent care clinic.
