How Can Constipation And Lower Abdominal Pain Be Treated?

For the past several days, I haven t had a full bowel movement and yesterday began having pain in my lower abdomen, so much that I ve been unable to sleep. I have no sensation that I need to have a bowel movement, just the lower abdominal pain. Should I simply wait until morning and go to a pharmacy and get a laxative, or call my doctor?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
welcome to hcm ..please increase fluid intake ..increase salad intake and take warm water before going to toilet
if there is no effect then please take a mild laxative from pharmacy
but as a general rule please rely on general measures as increased fluid intake amd more roughage rather than drugs
as far as drugs are concerned rely on natural products rather than pharma drug
I find this answer helpful
