Sometimes, however, extreme constipation problems do not involve blood but are serious nonetheless. Any time feces accumulates in your body instead of being disposed of during a bowel movement, there is the potential for problems. Extreme constipation problems generally mean that several days has passed between bowel movements. Waste is filled with harmful bacteria and toxins that will enter your blood stream when the stool is not evacuated because of constipation problems.

In cases of extreme constipation where the bacteria continued to multiply because waste continued to accumulate in the colon and large intestines, a condition known as septicemia may develop. In many cases, septicemia is fatal unless a massive injection of antibiotics is administered immediately to combat the harmful bacteria.
