A member asked:
Can't have bowel movement without manual stimulation. what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Develop good : Bowel habit. Increase fluid intake, 6 to 8 glasses of water, increase fibers, fruits and take laxatives, stool softeners. Your doctor may have you do vigorous bowel cleansing to help out initially. And you have to take charge from there. At least three bowels per day.
