bowel evacuation
Posted: 01-20-08 01:07am

After I have a bowel movement, I have 1 of 2 problems:

1. I can wipe and wipe and it never gets clean.
2. If it does, then once I get up and move around, fecal matter moves down and irritates the rectal area and many times leaves marks in my underwear.

The feces that comes out seems to be of normal hardness and shape, but then it turns into a much smaller diameter (about .5 – 1 inch diameter) and that part wont come out.

I have bowel movements usually every day.

What is the problem?

Do you think that the bowels are empty? Do you feel constipated or are the feces flowing pretty freely?

In order to be sure that your underpants stay clean, you can clean your anus with water.

Check for hernia

I have this symptom as well as others such as stomach pain and bloating. I had a CT scan that says I have an indirect inguinal hernia. The hernia can sometimes remove some of the pressure in your large intestine making it difficult to empty the stool. (imagine a garden hose with a kink in it).

Thanks for your reply

Do you have treatment and did it work?
