I went through the same thing in my teen years. I started drinking more water & consuming more fiber EVERYDAY. The problem lightened up & now at 22, I don't have that problem at all anymore.

you probably have a sinus infection. go see the doc and double up on the first dose.\nhaving it for a couple of days isn't 'normal'

no bowel movement for 3 or 4 days the feeling of bloating and fullness and tightness in the lower abdomen.if you havent voided in that time frame i suggest a enema for a quick solution by not having a bm the intestines can become inflamed and infection is inevitable.dont strain when having a compacted stool you can burst a vessel or anything else you can think of.eat lots of fiber and stay active.the lower bowel gets lubrication from your body and by drinking water you will overcome your problem

it could be your liver, a kidney, your bladder, or the most likely cause - gas. If it persists for more than a day or becomes too unbearable, call a doctor.

Nuts can be part of the cause to the constipation. so i've heard. Laxatives dont ever work for me either.  I've takin like 4 before at the same time and it still didnt work... try to cut down on something that might be making the constipation happen.

this happens allot to me for some odd reason. Try taking a hot bath and eat more fibers as well you could just be constipated as well. If they are bad then do some crunches it should make the pain go away. The common problem with the is you had a light period and you didn't shed it all and the next one will be a bit more heavy.

Hi, I quit smoking six months ago.  It was tough.  As for the Jack A** who says to just quit because it's bad for you, we both know it's not that easy or everyone would quit. DUH!!!  Anyway, I ran across a sight that I found helpful called quitsmokingonline.com   it's free and it covers a lot of the myths about quitting smoking.  It sort of gave me a fresh outlook on the whole thing.  As far as the constipation thing, I never had that problem, I would definately try to drink more water and eat prunes or raisins.  Also, more fruit and vegetables in your diet would be good.  I wouldn't use a laxative because those are so harsh, but a stool softener could be helpful.  If the problem persist, you might contact your physician for a prescription of some reglan just to get things moving again.  Good luck with your program of quitting, and don't be afraid to use the tools available to you like patches, gum etc.  I used them and had really good luck.  Don't let anyone pressure you.  You can do this, just take it one day at a time or one hour at time, or one cigarette at time.  I promise you will be glad that you made the choice to quit.  Good Luck!

Well if you are 100% sure that you are not pregnant then go to your doctor after 5 days.  If you dont get your period in the next 5 days, you could either be pregnant or you might have a problem.  Have you been stressing lately? Stress also makes your period come late.  So relax and wait and if it doesnt come, then head of to your doctor! Good luck!

ROTFL  look dude, i am a nurse. calm down okay..no it is not good to have not had a bowell movement in 5 days but not quite life threatening yet,,first of all, do you or someone you know have a stethascope? if so, listen to where your bowells are if you hear no gurgling and rumbling then you have hypoactive bowell sounds..which means constipation.or could be a twisted bowell, but you would know if you had this (pain). try this.warm some prune juice in an 8 oz. glass. pour 60ml of Milk of Mag. (4 tablespoons) mix it all together and drink it down. tomorrow morning you should feel much better. k..good luck.\n\n\noh, if nothing happens after 7 days go to the dr. could be impaction. with this the symptoms are loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting usually bile. you would know if you were impacted..just try this or a soap suds enema with about 1000ml of water. they sell these otc..good luck dear.

Watch the consumption of various foods eaten. Sometimes processed foods, spicy foods, or spoiled food can create a reaction and our system responds by throwing it off via diarrhea.  There could also be an infection in your body needing to come out. As everyone has already mentioned...GO SEE A DOCTOR.  My suggestion is: Don't self medicate and don't use those OTC drugs that may constipate you, thus creating a continuous circle, going nowhere except back and forth to the bathroom. Go see your doctor if this extends past 3 weeks.  You may need to produce a stool sample for testing.

I don't know, i think it is some kind of digestive problem... my son had that problem, but only if he hadn't taken a dump for many days, even a week or two.. so constipation may play a role in it.

Give it 2 days to a week. Don't move it heaps either. If still a problem, just double check with your doctor.

Constipation is yet to be figured out. I go everyday so I think that is just really weird when people can hold it in for that long! Bowel movements happen because all that nasty stuff we just ate, the leftovers, needs to be removed from our body. You are not removing it normally so I am sure you are in the high percentage rate of getting irrital bowel syndrome or even colon cancer. You should seek the doctors advice about this. Try eating more vegetables and fruit. Drinking water as soon as you get up in the morning, and drinking throughout the day will definitely help you out. Your diet needs to change.
