A member asked:
I've not pooped in 3 days, i tried laxatives, but on day 3 the feeling of needing to poop went away and my rectum feels funny, not like pain but like there's something in there? and my body doesn't try to poop anymore, have i damaged my sphincter?

Increase water: Treating constipation at home involves increasing per day fluid intake (2.5 liters for female, 3.5 liters for male), increasing fiber content of diet (more fruits and vegetables, apple/prune juice or fiber supplement), and using a stool softener for 1-3 days. Make sure not to strain as this can cause rectal hemorrhoids and bleeding) You may also need an enema in order to soften any impaction.
