Severe Pain And Marble Size Stools, Feeling Of Giant Ball Unable To Pass. Cramps, Pain In Lower Stomach After Taking Laxatives. Advice

Tried to have a bowl movement today. Couldn t push it out. Was in severe pain. A couple of marble size drops fell into the toilet. I went and got some laxitives in pill form. Now I am cramping and have pain in my lower stomach and I still havent passed the movement. It feels like there is a giant ball in there that just will not budge. Any advise?

Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.
I can understand your concern.
Do not use self medications like that. Some times it could prove to be dangerous.
Say for example one has a intestinal obstruction and takes laxatives it could complicate the problem. Please get yourself examined by your doctor at the earliest.
Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
