Any length of time is a concern when a person has hard stools or constipation. But after three days, stools become harder and difficult to pass needing a medical intervention or procedure to clear out the impacted stools.

Question

I'm really struggling with this issue where I keep needing to go to the bathroom, even though my stools seem normal. They aren't loose or hard, but the bowel movements are way too frequent, especially after I eat. My doctor mentioned it might be IBS. Do you have any advice on how to handle this? It's getting really frustrating and it's affecting my daily life. What can I do to make it better?

Question

I'm a bit concerned about my health right now. I've been dealing with some pain in my waist and had typhoid fever recently. I just got my blood tests back, and my SGOT is at 59 while my SGPT is at 64. I'm wondering if these levels are something I should be worried about. Does this mean there's a big problem, or could it be related to the fever? Would really appreciate some advice on this.
