painfull stools

[hopeless_teen]

i feel really embarrased to even type this but when i try to pass stools its become really uncomfortable and painfull lately. I will only go about once every 2-3 days. I can feel I need to pass stools however it seems to feel stuck. I can't pass anything as it just feels like its stuck in the rectum? and I'm a little embarressed to talk to parents and reluctant to go to doctor but really anxious on what to do.
Any help?!

The laxatives are ok for short term but you should try to find out why you're always constipated. Make sure you're drinking plenty of water and are getting enough fiber, which you can get from fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Go easy on the beef and dairy for awhile. That should help.

Go to Wal-Mart and buy a laxative called Mira lax and it will help you go to the bathroom that's what my wife uses her doctor told her to get it she has the same problem but she takes too many meds that cause hers and she's only 42 and has a liver disease.
