A member asked:
Do i have lower bowel obstruction or fecal impaction? no bm for 4 days.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most Likely Not: Symptoms: abdominal pain, abdominal distention, vomiting, no flatus (gas) and no bowel movement. Most common cause of no bm is constipation. See your doctor because constipation can be a presenting symptom of something else like hypothyroidism. Drink plenty of fluids.
