I'm worried.... what should i do?!
Question: I'm 18 years old and starting last week on March 25th i had to use the bathroom (diarreah) everyday for about 4 to 6 times a day. This went on for 5 days until the 29th. I didnt bother to go to the doctors because i thought i had the stomach flu. It had went away since Saturday and ever since that day i havent had one single bowel movement at all, and i'm getting really worried (It's been a week). Like everyday i have been feeling the urge to go but it would never happen. I'm starting to get really worried. Should i call my doctor and ask or is this normal because it's pretty weird to me. What should i do?

It is important to know if you are having any other symptoms. You need to take a stool softener (available over the counter) immediately, eat lots of fiber, and drink some water. A week is an excessively long time to go without a bowel movement. You may be dehydrated from your severe diarrhea earlier this month, which would make it very hard to pass a stool. Go very heavy on the water. If these suggestions don't work within 24 hours, you need to see the doctor because something else may be going on.
Lol, what you defecated 4 to 6times a day for 5 DAYS straight, and you are worried about not shitting for one day? Lol come on.. people have not pooped for over a month before.
Call your doc.
there could be some thing wrong it ould be a water infection but contact your doctor anyway to find out

Go see a doctor. I have had diarrhea for a week on and off, but i didn't have to go that often. Your condition could be serious. You should get a checkup. It's better to be safe then sorry.
Drink a lot of water and whatever you do, try not to force it.
You should try taking magnesia to help.
And yes, you should call your doctor if the problem persists.
visit nearest hospital and get medical advise
u should immediately recommend a doctor or take abundened fruits,and a little sour things .
Constipation could be removed by including enough fiber in the diet(vegetables, fruits, grains) , more consumption of water( 10-15 glasses of water in a day-> have 3 glasses of water just after you wake up and always take waterbottle wherever u go), avoiding coffee and cola drinks(cause dehydration- one of the causes of constipation) or engaging in physical activity. If these donot remove constipation then consult your doctor. Remeber donot avoid the urge to have bowel movement.
You may want to call your doc and rule out things such as Chrones and/or IBS. There may be a medical reason that you're seeing these symptoms now.
Good luck.
