Question

Constipation

Asked for Female, 19 Years

I went to the hospital last Sunday because I was backed up for at least a week. They administered an enema and that cleared my colon, which was completely full. I was prescribed colace and miralax to take, but since Monday I haven't produced a bowel movement, despite taking the medication. Right now, I'm experiencing horrible stomach pains amd flatulence, but no BM so far. It has been four hours since I took it. What are my options at this point, besides an enema?
