Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
You have fecal impaction. You need to take stool softeners for evacuating it.
For good bowel movements you need to do the following -
1. Take high fiber diet - eat lot of vegetables and fruits. You can take fiber supplements like metamucil
2. Drink adequate fluids
3. Have adequate physical activity - walk at 30 minutes everyday.
I hope that answers your question.
Regards.
