i was born with a problem that affects my ability to urinate and defecate on my own. the urination problem has been taked care of by medication and catheterization, but the bowel problems are still lingering. I am almost 19 years old, and i've never had a bowel movement on my own. I was born without nerves in that area that i guess make that area function. i had ememas a lot when i was little, but those were painful and very uncomfortable. I have been taking laxatives(mainly dulcolax) since i was 9. now the dulcolax is not working like it should. it is supposed to produce a bowel movement in about 6-8 hours, and now only does it in about 15-20 hours and it's ver painful. if anyone is going through the same problem, or knows about a method i could try to maybe have less disscomfort, i would be greatly appreciative. thanks
