Chronic constipation and excessive use of enema

Used excessive enema now it is not working. Consulted gastrointestinal expert gave some medicine, it helps but largely it is psychological. I can't pass stool its like lump and results in anal fissures. Any suggestion who had similar experience

Blocked feeling in bowel

Have to use a mini enema as constipated, hard stool. After my bowels close I get a feeling like a numbness and bloated feeling in my bowel . Feels like trapped wind and won’t completely go even after I pass wind. Does anyone know what it is.

Radiation proctitis....treatment

I have been testing with Sucralfate enema since 4 months... It reduced my stool blood symptoms by 80 %. All blood tests ok.... Some gastros say it will gradually go away others say my stool blood will get worse... My Radio Onco says it will never go away but will be less frequent...

Question about CKD and having a colonoscopy

I am scared that the laxative solution and the phosphate enema that I have to take as part of preparing for the colonoscopy will damage my kidneys even more than they already are. I am also worried that the sedative I have to take as part of the procedure might do the same thing.

UCLA wants me to have a bowel movement everyday before each of the 20 tx? what is the exact purpose of this? ( does it protect anus,urethra?

Is the last six inches of the rectum that a fleet enema covers enough to protect the rectum from radiation? or do i actually need a clean out with miralax or another laxative each time? All responses welcome and appreciated...tx.. Tall Allen...thoughts please???

Chronic constipation 4 years old son. Please help

Last time last night when he was given enema. We have been up all night as since he is having awful stomach pains. This is not the first time it had happened too but not as severely (the pain) I feel. The hospital told me it was “normal” and that I should be continue to give him Movicol.

Severe HE on top of everything else!

He had been refusing the lactulose but they gave him an enema today, so hopefully that will start to work and ease the confusion, he’s like someone with dementia. He had been up all night, and has been sleeping most of today. It’s absolutely heartbreaking to endure.

I think I’m impacted

I ended up using an enema, but it was still extremely painful. Two weeks ago, the same problem started again. I kept trying to hold it in and eventually it got to the point where I couldn’t. I was able to go a little bit, and had to manually remove some which was very uncomfortable.

Gut and brain connection

I took an enema and my BP went down and felt much better. Cloudy brain gone. I feel as if I lack normal impulses for a BM. I can't understand what is going on nor what I can do to treat it. I take vitamin D and calcium supplements. I do suffer from a compression fracture at L-5.

Bowel obstruction after debulking surgery

Getting a barium enema tomorrow to find out more where obstruction is. This is so discouraging as I just feel like it’s 3 steps forward and 2 steps back. Doctor said I was at risk if bowel perforation happened and they have to get this fixed first. Anyone else have this happen?

Gentle liver flush - any benefits?

Hi All I've been reading about the link between hypothyroid and liver. I have decided to do a gentle detox. This involves castor oil on a cloth and a hot water bottle and lying it on the liver region for about 45 minutes. I've do it two days in a row. I just wondered if anyone else has done this and
