Chronic Constipation?

Question

Asked for Female, 13 Years

I’m a 13 year old girl. I’ve been constipated for about 7 weeks now. I poop every 4-6 days and have a really hard time getting our stools. I have bad pains and gas. I’ve been taking NU-LAX but it isn’t too helpful. I have an inguinal operation in 3 weeks time and I’m scared my constipation will affect it. Please help.
