A member asked:

If i haven't had a bowel movement for 10 days despite taking laxatives, should i consider going to the hospital?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes: It is possible to have an impaction or other blockage that will obstruct your colon. Evaluation with an abdominal exam, digital rectal exam, plain x-rays of the abdomen may help delineate a cause.
