 [ Symptoms ] hello i am an 18 year old cheerleader i have not seen my period since late october last year any advice  hello i am an 18 year old cheerleader i have not seen my period since late october last year since then i had protected sex once the condom didnt burst or anything and i took two pregnancy tests that came out negative also since october i had two serious falls on my back due to cheerleading and a chest infection i was given two different sets of medication for these incidents i am a bit worried as to why my period is so late any advice [ Disease ] i certainly think you should see a doctor about this what you are describing sounds like very hard stool that is difficult to pass this possibly could cause a bowel obstruction eventually it sounds like you have done some good things by eating plenty of fiber and trying laxatives you should also be sure to drink plenty of fluids to stay well hydrated some medications for acid reflux can cause constipation so be aware of that your health care provider should be able to help you figure out if you have a serious constipation issue or if there is something else going on either way a medical professional can help you treat this and get back to having comfortable bowel movements best wishes to you i have not experienced what you are going through but i did have anal fissures leading to bleeding also hard stools here is what worked for me i have boiled okra regularly for dinner as part of my diet spinach indian recipie for plain palak 1 apple a day dried prunes in office for munching about 5 to 6 atleast two liters of water every day almond oil with warmor hot for me milk after dinner and important walking 30 mins a day if possible before the first visit to the toilet int he morning i never buy ebooks but i bought this one and some of them helped me <link> ebook pdf is called constipation help i am not saying this will cure your condition which looks a bit further away from where i was but these things in my diet helped me from what i experienced once you have this situation its better to see what foods you eat and make a regular schedule disclaimer i only told what i faced and how it helped me im not a docotr and have no medical knowledge i also cut out coffee entirely from my diet hotchoclate for me those led to hard stools
