Removing stuck poop often involves several methods to soften and dislodge the stool. Here's how:
Methods for Removing Stuck Poop
Several approaches can help relieve constipation and remove stuck stool:
-
Laxatives:
- Over-the-counter (OTC) laxatives can cleanse your colon.
- Consider drinking a polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution to soften the stool.
-
Physical Assisted Removal:
- Digital Disimpaction: A medical professional uses a gloved finger to manually remove poop from your rectum.
- Abdominal Massage: A medical professional performs an abdominal massage to target the stuck stool.
In summary, while laxatives can help soften the stool, sometimes physical intervention by a healthcare professional is needed to manually remove the impacted feces.
