You need to see your doctor...he can prescribe cleansing enemas, then give you a plan for proper diet..stool softener medication...occasional laxative...until you get back to proper stool management. You need to move bowels every day to be healthy.
This is a very unusual finding and may be due to obstruction of the bowel distally.l You should consult a Gastroenterologist who is a specialist for stomach, small and large bowls. He or she may recommend tests for further evaluation.
Go see gastroenterologist and surgeon

All the best.
