How To Get Hard Stool Stuck In Anus Out During Pregnancy?
Hi, I am 34 weeks pregnant and last night I was partially successful with what I thought was a severe feel impaction. I had a hard clay like stool stuck in my anus and I first tried to digitally remove it. Then I tried a glycerin suppository and lastly a fleets enema helped remove two large segments. I still feel like there is a lot more because it was 5 days with no bm plus I feel like their is something stuck in there. At this point do I try another fleets enema?

Respected user , Hi
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.com
I have gone through your concern in depth .
* OTC basis laxatives and enema are not recommended during pregnancy ,
as it may induce severe uterine contractions and problems - should seek
medical attendance with OBGY .
* Suggestions at present
- Drink plenty of liquids .
- High fiber diet with green leafy veg , whole grains , cereals , pulses ,
legumes
Hope this clears your query .
