Yes and no: Yes if this is not normal for you but not going to the bathroom for 4 days constitute constipation so just is not but if this happens intermittently then you have to because all the way from irritable bowel syndrome to other mechannical , finctional etc so you decide yoursel the good thing is you are young so thats in your favour but dont ignore and see a physician.
