I haven't been able to pass stool for four days and it's getting really painful. Yesterday, I realized it's become too hard and won't pass through my rectum. I tried using a suppository but it didn't help, then I had some cremafin syrup and now only a tiny, hard stool comes out with a lot of pain and water. It's unbearable and I'm really struggling. I've never dealt with anything like this before. I'm considering going to the hospital for an enema but I'm also on my period, so I'm kind of worried about that too. Could you give me some advice on what I should do?

Given your severe constipation, painful bowel movements, and failure of suppositories and Cremafin syrup, consider visiting the hospital for further treatment, despite being on your period, as the medical staff can take necessary precautions; enema or other medical interventions like manual removal of stool or prescription medications may be necessary to relieve your symptoms; meanwhile, stay hydrated, apply warm compresses to your abdomen, and avoid straining during bowel movements to minimize discomfort.

I've been having a lot of issues with my stomach being really bloated and hard, like it's filled with gas all the time. It's starting to feel like a rock, and it's making me really uncomfortable. Even when I eat normal foods, I end up with acidity. I talked to my general practitioner, and I've been taking Esoz D when the bloating and acidity hit, but I'm worried its not really solving the issue. Is there something else I can do to get this under control? Should I be looking at my diet or something else?
