Q: Bowel Leakage / Incomplete Evacuation
asked by: jimbobtom on July 27th, 2006

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?

I seriously suggest that both of you follow up with a GI specialist who can diagnose the problem. Abnormal stools can be the first sign of a more serious illness, or might simply be the result of undetected hemmorrhoids. But either way, you need diagnosis first.

I have the very same problem, and most times when there is still bowel left that I could not evacuate, it's uncomfortable, too uncomfortable to walk around plus the problems of the remaining stool festering out casuing itch and dirty underwear, so almost every time I have a bowel movment, I use an enema bottle filled with warm water and that helps easily to push out remaining stool. But it's very un-pleasant to do, having to have toilet paper ready to wipe of the bottle stem and then clean up of the bottle, etc... Now don't be mistaken, I don't use an enema bottle prior to have a bowel movement, it's ALWAYS AFTER I've gone, when there is stool left that I simply cannot push out.
Anybody empathize or have advice? (please be nice)
