A member asked:
Hello. i had an enema 7 days ago and have been eating all week, however i haven't had a bm since the enema last week. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not typically normal: Though people may have considerable variations in normal bowel function, to go for a period greater than one week without a bowel movement is not normal. At your age, a medical evaluation is certainly appropriate. Seek advice from your primary care physician or gastroenterologists.
