Is 10-15 min time too long when passing stool? i have varicose veins in testicles.it could be because i am straining too much when passing stool.

You're constipated!: In a perfect world, you wouldn't ever have to strain for a bowel movement. You would get the urge to go, sit down, and pass a large formed stool with little to no effort. It sounds like you are quite constipated. In addition to making sure you are getting 64oz water/day and lots of fiber in your diet, you may consider adding Miralax. The generic version is fine & directions are on the bottle!
