Hello!
Thank you for the query.
It seems that you should have colonoscopy done. Your constipation can be due to some organic changes including a tumor or adhesions. Thyroid should be tested as hypothyroidism can cause constipation as well.
Please consult gastrologist and do not wait with it.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
