People who suffer from constipation know how difficult "things" can get.

Imagine suffering with constipation every single day. 

This is exactly what a 23-year-old Taiwanese woman had to go through for most of her life. 

According to a report in Mashable SEA, the woman took to Taiwanese social media platform Dcard recently to share her toilet woes.

In her post, the woman said she could only defecates after sitting for one to two hours on the toilet bowl.

What’s worse is the fact that the longest she went without pooping was 17 days.

When she finally let it out, she could only pass tiny pellets of faeces.

A torturous problem 

Before you jump to conclusions and assume that the problem could be due severe lack of fibre, it's not.  

In fact, the desperate woman even tried eating seven huge papayas and two large dragon fruits but nothing helped.

"I look normal on the outside, and I have a lively personality. But I often experience pain so severe, it feels like I'm having an abortion. This is something that the people around me don't see," she said in her post.

When she could no longer take the pain, she decided to consult doctors about her issue.

After getting an x-ray done, the root of the problem was discovered.
The woman’s colon was displaced, and the last segment of her colon had no wrinkles due to the sheer amout of faeces accumulated in the colon!

"My colon is super long and it has extended all the way to the top."

"It seems like the only way to solve this is to remove my entire colon, but I'm so afraid. I'm scared that there might be complications," she said.

At least the doctors have identified the issue. 

Now hopefully they can help her soon. 

Lesson to be learnt: Consult your doctors asap if you have similar issues.
