Trouble with Bowl Movement

About 3 weeks ago I would have a bowl movement about 4 times day or whenever I had a big meal. I normally only went about twice a day. Bout a week ago when ever I had to go nothing would come not matter how hard I push nothing came. But just a few days ago only a little would come and the bit that came did not look normal. It looks almost like something that should have been inside my body not out. If that didn't come some kind of liquid did. It kind of looked like snot. If anyone has any answer please help.

Thanks

If you live in the uk there is an over the counter medicine called fibrogel, its a drink type thing and it softens your stools. Also things like senna are mild bowel stimulants. Both these things can hopefully ease your symptoms.

You're probably constipated.  You can try increasing your fiber, fruits, vegetables, and water.  Also, don't push hard when you're on the toilet; this can cause hemorrhoids.
