Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I think your impacted stools may need manual removal or soap water enema. For prevention take high fibre diet and regular exercise. Drink plenty of water, use syrup lactulose after dinner for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
