Hi, I'm a girl and am 16, I've been getting tummy aches for a while now together with finding it harder and harder to go for a poo, I'm only going like once or twice a week and have to push really hard to get anything to come out and even then it feels like theres more still stuck up inside me which just won't come out no matter how hard I push. To be honest before this started I never went for a poo every day (probably 3-4 times a week on average) and although sometimes I did have to push a bit I never found it this hard. As of today I haven't had a poo for 4 days, I do still try to go mid morning every day as that seems to be my normal time for getting the urge but Im not sure whether this is the right thing to do or if I should wait until I feel like I actually want a poo before going to toilet?? Any advise welcome as I'm really not sure what to do for the best.
