Pressure in left side constipated ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is a possibility: But you wouldn't know w/o eval. Stay well hydrated (at least 8 - 8 ounces glasses of water per day). Try to get in 5 servings of vegetables and 4 servings of fruit per day – get that fiber in. Stay physically active if possible. There are a number of over the counter laxatives that can be taken orally to help pass retained fecal matter.
