Why haven't you pooped in a week?

A week of no stool may be due to unreasonable diet, poor living habits, intestinal obstruction and other reasons.

If the patient eats low-fiber foods or drinks less water for a long time, it may lead to slow gastrointestinal motility and dry feces, resulting in a week of no defecation. If the patient usually exercises less, or develops the habit of long-term no defecation, it usually causes no defecation. If the patient has a history of abdominal surgery leading to intestinal adhesions, hernia or abdominal abscess, it usually causes intestinal obstruction resulting in abdominal distension, anal exhaust and other symptoms.
