DRINK WATER: Stop all the medications!! Eat a well balanced diet and drink five full glasses of water a day! This will most likely work! If this kind of constipation returns , see your Primary Care Provider, you may have "spastic" colon or "Irritable Bowel Syndrome" ..but a single episode does not require a "work-up" DRINK DRINK DRINK Hope this helps!

See your physician: Without knowing your medical history it's difficult to give specific advice other than at this point you need to see your physician for a careful history and physical exam. Causes of constipation can include chronic abuse of laxatives, changes in diet, and other causes including more serious causes. Colon cancer is very unlikely at age 24 but not impossible.SEE:http://bit.ly/1uzOegm

Obstipation: The only safe thing to TRY in this situation would be a suppository like glycerine or possibly dulcolax (which will increase cramping) to induce a real BM and clear out what sounds like a blockage. You could try a small oil retention enema (ask pharmacist), just to lubricate passage. Otherwise you are going to have to see a clinician to give you some relief and try to find the cause. Good luck!
