Suggest Treatment For Constipation And Severe Pain In The Groin And Pelvic Area
I am having pain in the left hand side lower groin/pelvic area that is getting worse by the minute. I have been constipated for several weeks now, which is unusual for me. I am only having a bowel movement every 5 days or so and it is very painful when I do go. I am straining very hard to get it out and it still feels like I have more in there. I ve been taking stool softeners (lots of them) to make it less painful when I do go, but it s not helping much. The pain in my groin/pelvic area is so bad now that it s difficult to walk, sit, stand and even lie down. I m not sure what s going on
If you normally have good and regular bowel movements and you are now having severe constipation along with pain, it is possible that you may be obstructed.
This means that there maybe something causing a blockage/obstruction in the bowel.
It would be best to see a doctor as soon as you can for examination.
I hope this helps
