A member asked:
After being constipated for about a month, i have being having a constant feeling of having to have a bowel movement. what can this be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly....: Other people with similar symptoms have found that they go away after a week or so, after the bowel is fully recovered from long standing constipation. Others discover that they have irritable bowel syndrome, and feel better after being treated for that. Symptoms like these deserve a full evaluation in person by your health care provider.
