Suggest Treatment For Chronic Constipation

I placed my finger (covered with a rubber glove) in my anus to relieve constipation. It worked before, but this time I did it two day in a row. Now I am only able to have a BM with only a little coming out. Also, I have not gotten the Urge since the second time. Did I do damage? How can I get it back to normal or am I sick?

Welcome to healthcaremagic. I doubt you did any damage, you need to increase your water intake, add fiber, fruits and vegetables. If this has been tried, then you can get over the counter stools softeners like milk of magnesium. Hope this helps, good luck
