 [ Symptoms ] i was hospitalized a month ago for a severe kidney infection nothing helped what should i do next [ Disease ] i would suggest that you see your medical provider so that you can have your rectum examined or have a flat plate x ray of your abdomen no bowel movement for a week would seem to indicate a possible stool impaction but your comment about the anal area being obstructed concerns me that you could have a foreign body do you think this is possible  or even a rectal prolapse even if you are carefully examined a week ago it would be good to be re examined something is amiss
