Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

You are experiencing for a month now, constipation and a constant feeling of fullness, with a strange smell although you are on stool softener and change diet habits (a lot of water).

If you were my patient I would recommend to run the following examinations to find out the right etiology of your problems:
- Blood work (including liver and pancreatic enzymes together with tumoral markers)
- Abdominal ultrasound
- Colonoscopy

Hope this will be of help!
