What should we do for my mother, who has type 2 diabetes and schizophrenia, has suffered from long-term constipation for two years that only responds to Digene, suppositories, or enemas, and now constantly feels the urge to poop every 15 minutes but cannot?

Asked by Female, 64 · 3 days ago

This constant urge often suggests a fecal impaction, where hardened stool blocks the rectum. Her schizophrenia medications and diabetes can also significantly slow bowel movements. Please have her evaluated by a healthcare professional promptly to safely check for and clear any blockage. Her doctor should also review her current medications to see if they are contributing to this issue. While Digene can sometimes help, relying long-term on enemas or suppositories can make the bowel dependent. A doctor can establish a safe, gentle daily regimen to help her find lasting relief.
