Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per my clinical experience, the underlying cause evaluation is a must for the precise management guidelines. The reason may be intestine motility issue, narrowing with stricture, tumor or else. I recommend to undertake a colonoscopy examination for final management guidelines.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
