Urgent Care or ER!: You need to be seen at an Urgent Care center or Emergency Room as soon as possible! You have a severe case of constipation which has gone on too long. Possible causes are bowel obstruction, anal fissure, colon cancer, bowel stricture, rectal cancer & rectocele. The sooner you are properly examined & treated the better your chances for recovery. Best of luck with your health!
