Brief Answer:
Probably fecal impaction, follow the advice below.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to fecal impaction. This diagnosis is characterized by a large, dry mass of stools in your colon which make impossible defecation.

Some home method for relief are:
- Try an over-the-counter stool softener
- Consume senna tea
- Glycerin suppositories can help
- Take probiotics
- Drink a lot of fluids
- Consume natural fiber in foods
- Avoid chocolate, fried food and alcohol

If the symptoms continue or you experience abdominal pain you should go to the emergency room for proper evaluation and treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
