Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I developed a sudden sharp pain in my upper left abdomen on Fri night. I had not had a bowel movement for nearly 5 days (I typically have bowel movements every day or every other day.) Today, I saw a doctor - she seemed to think that the pain was a reflection of some blockage. She prescribed almitiza and I finally had a bowel movement today, but the pain persist at the same intensity. It s more intense if I am standing rather than sitting.

Fecal impaction and constipation causes such problems. Take Lactulose syrup 4TSF at night. Plenty of fluids and fruits. High fiber, green leafy vegetables and salads will help you a lot. Drink Coconut water 1 cup daily. It has got high fiber contenet.
