It sounds like you are not able to empty the rectum. BUt I need to know how often you move your bowels. This could be constipation or a defecation problem. Have you tried laxatives or an enema to empty the rectum?
These symptoms are most likely secondary to being constipated. The initial recommendations for constipation include fiber supplementation (Metamucil, Benefiber, fiber capsules or gummies, high fiber cereal such as Fiber One, fiber bars to name a few) along with increasing water intake and exercise.If this is not enough to help with constipation, I usually recommend starting with over the counter Miralax or polyethylene glycol, 1 capful in 8 oz fluid daily. This may take up to 1 week before it starts working consistently.
Always consult with your healthcare provider if your symptoms do not improve.
