Suggest Remedy For Severe Constipation Post Back Surgery
Hi, I haven t been able to have a bowel movement for over a week today I tried using an enema I didn t have a bowel movement but when I wiped there was just blood. My stomach is hurting really bad. I have had a major back surgery that causes me to have problems urinating but it just usually hurts down my back when I have a bowel movement.

You must GO to the hospital . There no point thinking at home. Passing blood is not a healthy sign and you must inform your surgeon about the same. Do not use enema any more, It can be some sort of obstruction . take fluids more and meet your doctor as early as possible. Please do not consume any blood thinner drugs like aspirin /clopilet if you are on them.
