Are you having any pain? If no, then there is no need to worry about bowel obstructions after having this problem for weeks.

You may also want to consider checking with our doctor. Other causes of constipation and flattened stool can be bowel spasms, or bowel obstructions. Obstructions need to be ruled out.
