Doctor can examine: Each person with constipation needs to be sure there is no other disease causing it. If constipation is just due to slow movement of the food and poop through the gut, then the things to try are vegetables, water, fiber with water, prune juice, prunes, polyethylene glycol, Senokot or other senna, milk of magnesia, other laxatives... A doctor can evaluate because "severe" pain can be something bad.

Constipation: Is this the first time or do you have chronic constipation? fever? If no bowel movement for 6 days and severe pain- go to ER or urgent care - may be dehydration( not enough fluids - drink 2-3 liters a day), or diet -not enough fiber -eat avocados, strawberries, greens, sweet potatoes, coconut, drink prune juice or stress but could be chronic appendicitis or gallbladder or stomach.
