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.
What Causes Chronic Constipation And Abdominal Pain?
my father-in-law has had issues last 3 weeks with his bowel movements. he has been told he has impacted bowels and just given pills , enema and saline solution. He has not had any relief except small release of diarrhea. He hasn t ate anything substantial in almost 3 weeks, he has no energy because of this . His stomach pain is severe. he has been in emergency all day. They have only done an x-ray. Should they be checking him for any tears? Both his father and grandmother had stomach cancer.
Since he has a History of Cancer, there could be possiblity of excess amount of polyps (>100) which could have caused the constipation. So biopsy can be done and a rectoscopy.
