I am a 38 year old female with bloating and not able to have a bowel movement for about 1 1/2 weeks now. I did see my physician a few days ago but she wasn't sure and told me to come back if symtoms didn't get better. I have some gas but have the feeling that I need "to go" most of the time. My doctor did a rectal exam however there was no impaction. Some of the time when I pass gas a mucusy stool will come out as well and I will also pass a very small amount of stool (about the size of a lima bean) at least once a day however it is also very soft. The pain is primarily around my naval area but has also started hurting higher up and around my back. I have no fever but I have noticed that I have been sweating alot more than usual. Should I consult my Dr again or go to the ER? Thanks!!
