A member asked:

Is having constipation for 3 days dangerous?

Dr. Eric Kaplan answered

Specializes in Colon and Rectal Surgery

Uncomfortable: But not dangerous unless your constipation is caused by an un-diagnosed problem in your colon. If this is recurrent, at your age you should consider a colonoscopy.
