Medical Question - Is It Normal Not Having A Poo For Over A Week?


Recommended Posts

That's the thing Chem - he can't pass nothing :( I can let him type if that's OK?

A third of patients are “too embarrassed” to talk to their GP about changes to their poo despite it being a key indicator of bowel cancer, it is claimed.

 

The DH’s ‘Be Clear on Cancer’ bowel cancer campaign encourages people who have had blood in their poo or looser poo for three weeks or more to see their doctor.

 

Advertisements linked with the campaign aim to ensure more people are aware of the symptoms of bowel cancer and hopes it will lead them to feel easier about discussing possible symptoms with their GP.

 

But if you can't poo, you should also see your doctor!

Does he drink enough and I dont mean alcohol. His total fluid intake should be at least 3 litres per day. Things like orange juice or pineapple juice can help things on their way.

 

He never drinks alcohol - but moved up to Six pints of Stella.
