<s>[INST] I am having alot of abdominal pressure.  I just realized I've been taking laxatives the past week and no bowel movement.  I have notice a sticky yellowish substance in my stool sometimes.  I don't feel any cramping, just some dull pain in my back left side.  I don't have a uterus.  I stand up and it feels like pressure from a pregnancy?? Remember, I had a hyster 2 years ago, but still have ovaries. [/INST] Hi ! The sticky brownn substance in the stool could be an after effect of taking frequent laxatives. The other possibility is an infection of intestines, amebiasis being one of the most common which may give rise to such sticky yellowish substance in the stool. It will be relieved if you take a course of anti amebic drugs after getting your stool tested and your doctor advises you for this. You have not mentioned for what pathology your uterus was removed. YOu can consider for an ultrasound abdomen after consulting your treating gynaecologist.Wishing you an early recovery. </s>
