What is the sign of not being able to have a bowel movement for many days?

Question
Hi doctor, I have symptoms of not being able to defecate for many days. This symptom appeared about 6 months ago and I am still eating well with nutrition and science. I still eat all kinds of vegetables. In the past half year, I changed my job and the nature of my work has to stay up at night and drink carbonated drinks such as Coca, Coffee and other carbonated drinks. So what should I do to get out of this situation?

Hello. Not having a bowel movement for many days, there are many causes, from physical disorders in the digestive tract (ulcers, tumors...) or functional disorders. To find out these causes, some diagnostic procedures must be performed, such as abdominal ultrasound, gastrointestinal endoscopy, etc. To determine the correct cause, the root cause can be treated. The regular lifestyle of staying up late, using carbonated drinks, coffee... is not good for the digestive system. You should register for an examination at the Hospital's gastroenterology clinic for a more thorough examination and appropriate treatment!
