What should I do if I feel like I can’t poop?

Feeling like you can’t get a bowel movement out can be caused by constipation, bowel obstruction, colon cancer and other reasons. Usually, medication, gastrointestinal decompression and surgery can be used.
1. Constipation: Gastrointestinal peristalsis becomes slow, which will cause feces to stay in the intestine for a long time, resulting in the phenomenon of not being able to poop out. Bifidobacterium can be used to regulate the intestinal flora, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, and can also be used to assist in the treatment, such as Keserol.
2. Intestinal obstruction: the intestinal contents can not be normally discharged through the intestines, abdominal pain and bloating, nausea and vomiting, and stop defecation, which may lead to the phenomenon of feeling that you can’t poop out. Gastrointestinal decompression can be carried out for treatment, through which gas and gastric fluid can be effectively induced out of the stomach to reduce the accumulation of intestinal contents.
3. Colon cancer: If patients suffer from colon cancer, there will be space-occupying lesions in the intestines, which may stimulate the intestines, thus the symptom of feeling having bowel movement but not being able to pull it out occurs. This condition can usually be treated by laparoscopic or open surgery to remove the tumor, and combined with radiotherapy to control the growth of the tumor after surgery.
If the patient feels like having a bowel movement but can’t get it out, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time to find out the cause of the disease and then target treatment.
