A member asked:
Good evening doctors! i just realized that i have not had a bowel movement in about four days. i have had intermittent constipation in the past. other than panic which i thought of by myself, what would you suggest medically?

Constipation: Drink LOTS of water, try an OTC laxative, and call your doctor for further advice. He/she is aware of your medical history and your medicine panel. We are not.
