Hello and welcome to e health forum.

From the history provided, your current symptoms sensation of an incomplete bowel opening after toileting could be due to condition ‎called obstructive defecation as a result of pelvic floor dysfunction. ‎
‎ ‎
You may need investigations including a special X ray called a defecating proctogram and pressure ‎studies of the rectoanal pressure studies. ‎

You might consider seeking the opinion of your healthcare provider who can do the necessary tests ‎and then decide the treatment based on the test results. ‎
