A member asked:

I've have no bowel movement sfor 3 weeks. what could be wrong?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unhealthy diet : Poor bowel habits and not drinking enough fluids and not eating fibers and fruits. You need to make appointment with your doctor to get good history and physical exam. Then he may order some tests to give you treatment options.
