A member asked:
I haven't really pooped for almost 2 weeks now and was wondering how long before it gets serious enough to seek medical help?

No Longer: I am sorry to hear of your dilemma and i presume you are in pain. The definition of constipation includes the following: infrequent bowel movements (typically three times or fewer per week) difficulty during defecation (straining during more than 25% of bowel movements or a subjective sensation of hard stools) the sensation of incomplete bowel evacuation. Thus you need to get to the er now!
