What Causes Constipation And Lack Of Urination After An Anxiety Attack?

my son is 18 years old and stated that he has not been able to pee or poop for the past 3 days. the last time he went was 4 days ago and his pee was like an orange color and he had a difficult time getting it out. he said he had to move around and wiggle. what should I do?? he did have an anxiety attack about 4 days ago. could that be the cause for this?

Anxiety could be the cause of this problem. Because of retention of urine for long period color is orange. Try hot water fomentation on the abdomen above pubic region. I need details of his sleep,mood, and examination is also needed. I suggest you consult a Psychiatrist right away.
