Hello doctor,
I have been constipated for more than 10 years, usually every Saturday, Sunday, I feel like going to the toilet. About the last 3-4 months, I have a dull pain in my lower abdomen after having a bowel movement, although I am not constipated because I take Qee Tree and eat grapefruit regularly. Also, I have endometriosis. Doctor let me ask, is the dull pain in the lower abdomen after going to the toilet due to prolonged constipation?
