How to relieve fecal impaction?

Answer 1

A laxative is required to provide relief from fecal impaction, a very painful form of constipation where the bowel movement hasn't occurred and the stool has become so hard that it blocks the passage completely.

The first step would be to speak to your doctor to ensure you are given the right form of laxative and you can be sure that you do not have another underlying condition.

Products such as Laxido could be considered which works by absorbing water into the stool and increases the volume and water content of stools. This helps relieve constipation as the stools pass through the bowel more easily.

Several doses may be required intensively in one day to treat faecal impaction, however do not take it for more than three days.
