Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
For good bowel movements, you need to take high fiber diet and drink lot of fluids.
If you are constipated, you may consider taking fiber supplements like metamucil. And also increase your physical activity.
What you have now is fecal impaction. For relief, you can try bisacodyl suppository or mineral oil enema. If these are not effective, then manual evacuation should be done for which you need to go to a healthcare facility.
I hope that answers your question.
