Checkup update:

Hello guys i been check by my GI yesterday he is motility doctor but i disscuss my concern to him that i have very weak anus- rectal muscles to push my poop out he test my only physically on how my anus will response but i can contract but i cant push very well he ordered a anorectal manometry for me to be tested. Coz even soft stool so hard for me to push it out like no moisture inside always just stuck inside my rectum not moving anymore i need a good advice for you guys to help me out..

Its been 5 months since i have these constipation i dont know either also the feeling of urge to go.

  1. Thanks so much for updating us! It's good that your doctor ordered an additional test. Do you have it scheduled yet?
    I'm wondering if pelvic floor physical therapy might be an option? I'm not sure but I imagine that it could be helpful if your muscles aren't working properly. I did this after giving birth twice and it helped so much.
    Hopefully, other community members will chime in soon.

  2. Please try squatty potty or similar -- it makes going so much easier -- no side effects!nn

    1. my problem is i dont urge too go no muscles contraction at all is this norma for ibs ?

    2. I have one and it makes a huge huge difference. I highly suggest getting one as well. The ease of having a bowel movement improves ten fold. -Elizabeth (team member)
