Hello

Thank you for trusting HCM

Dear you already passed stools, if your stool impacted there is no passing of stools. Don't worry but you have to eat high fiber diet, Metamucil fiber and regular exercise. Just check your drug status. Some drugs may decrease bowel movements may cause constipation. Still symptoms persisten you need to consult your surgeon he will examine and treat you accordingly.
