I am having a problem with my bowel movements. Always had irritable bowel syndrome, know that this is not the whole problem. May be part of it.
I am constipated most of the time in the last couple of months, the problem lies with when I push to try and pass the feces, it feels as if my bowels are in my vaginal chanel, or I should say trying to pass through and are lodging in that area, so I am unable to pass the feces.
Even after I have relaxed and accepted my fate of not being able to have a bowel movement and I wipe from the front, I feel a bulge and when I push on the bulge, it is the feces lodged there.
I had a hysterectomy a year ago. I do not know if this may somehow play a part in what is happening to my body.
Is this normal?
Is there anything I can do?

Help!!!!!!
