poop won't go all the way out

Posted 06.14.2004 by Poonurse (1313)
Problmaticer asks:

When I poop, I can't go all the way. I usually end up with poop stuck on my anus; and I really don't want to strain. This leads to endless wiping. I've fought this matter for while now... it's getting tiring, and I realy urge for a solution.


Dear Problmaticer,

Sigh.

You'll have to provide more details. What do you eat on a typical day? How much fiber are you getting? How much water do you drink?

Just offhand, I would suggest some heaping helpings of Metamucil, mixed with PLENTY of water, taken several times a day for a while. See if it helps.

Also-try leaning forward as far as you can while "going." Sometimes for reasons only known to the universe, this helps.

But do try the Metamucil. I am becoming quite enamored of it -- somewhat like a crack whore, but jonesing for the fiber...

Please be advised that I am only a Poonurse. I am NOT a medical doctor. Any advice I give should be taken moderate skepticism. Please consult a REAL medical doctor if you feel you have a serious medical condition.

This sounds a lot like a million wiper. You may be eating too much fat, which can make your poo sticky and soft. Try cutting down on the red meat and see if it helps.

This is so annoying. I strain and strain, the super long duke comes 4/5 of the way out ans refuses to budge. Then when my muscles give up is slowly sucks back in. Now I can't even make it come out an inch, and I'm miserable because I can't take a frigg'n dump anymore without something bad happening!! Help!

I think we need a spinckter/colon workout and fitness guru. "Leaning forward" is only one of the available moves to move. Also try spicy/greasy food, or apple anything, and alcohol. All three at once if you really want no bind-up. No promises on "endless wiping" however...and the spincter will be empty(no half ins half outs)
BTW...I LIKE misspelling spinckter(!)

If none of the above mentioned advice works, try an enema once in a while. That will get everything out fast.

The Shit Volcano (3646) -- 10.25.2005

Just shove tweezers up your ass and yank it out. A lot less expensive than an enema.

I wonder, are there any excercises you can do?

The fiber suggestion is probably the best, but nevertheless, there will still be those times when you're forced to battle kling-ons (or kling-ins). I highly recommend a toilet-mounted bidet. Used one myself for awhile until the cheap thing broke (make sure it's a good brand). You can ream yourself out until you're brand-spankin' clean! Just don't turn up the pressure too hard--you'll start to fill up the poop chute with a lot of water and you'll spend the next two hours running back and forth taking bum leaks.

The bidet is the Wave of the Future. Stay tuned to PR, folks!

Yep, the infamous million wiper. Try backing off Micky D's for a while.

Try eating a bowl of Fiber One Honey Clusters at least three times a week. With lots of fiber, drink enough water, fiber absorbs water like a sponge. This should help a bit.

To contribute here, I have occasionally had a minor problem with my solid dump pausing for a few minutes as it gradually pushes itself out. I try to strain as little as possible, but if my log remains stationary at the end of my butt for too long, I am forced to push and grunt the rest out. For people who have similar problems, a good diet and eating more fiber is a start.

i have not pooped in 5 days. and my stomach is very bloated and huge! i have been taking laxatives and stool softners and also suppausortries and nothing has came out. there is no poop in my anus at all so were is the poop? is it impacted in my stomach some were? i heard that when impacted it is in your anus so what is wrong with me? also i feel sick to my stomach.

GottaGoGirl (2615) -- 02.18.2007

Well, it was nice knowing you.

Seriously. Go see a doctor.

I have been having trouble with bowel movements for years now and the doctor have just told me to drink plenty of water and take fiber as much as needed. So a couple days ago i started taking FiberCon as the bottle prescribed and now I cannot seem to gain weight. Do I just have a fast metabolism and the poop in my intestines making it look like I had gained weight, or is the food shooting through my system too fast.

StickyPooper (not verified) -- 03.13.2007

I had fantastic poops my whole life but when I hit 35 I got the same sticky/stuck poop problem and still have it 5 years later. No doc has really fully explained it yet. One told me to do Fiber One instead of the Metamucil I had been taking because Fiber One was the correct type of fiber I needed. Then another doctor called it "anal incontinence" but he was just stupid and did not bother to notice my sphincter tone was very good. Two more said I might have a "anatomical" reason or rectocele. I am male but they said males get rectoceles too. Anyway, now the only way to see if that might be true is visit a butt surgeon and probably do some pooping tests. Anyone else been through this whole long story themselves? Any good outcomes? Any surgeries?

StickyPooper (not verified) -- 03.14.2007

Oh...one other thing I forgot to mention...oddly enough I did have a few weeks were my sticky stuck poops seemed to improve. It happened when I was taking antibiotics for a non-GI problem. I think it is odd because I thought antibiotics were supposed to give you diarrhea, not make your stool more firm!

Fiber One is Heaven Sent (not verified) -- 08.13.2007

Ever since I started eating fiber one, I haven't had that problem. I just eat 2-3 servings of the PLAIN Fiber one cereal daily (I have NOT tried any of the other fancy, cluster fiber one cereals..So I can't vouch for them).. and it's awesome. I have no picture on the toilet paper poops! I was always irregular, I tried that Benefiber crap, it didn't do poop for me. Only thing that works for me is Fiber one. Now I poop daily and I lose like a pound and a half every toilet trip.

Earlier this year I had a hard piece of poop trying to get out. It was really hurting, so I felt down that way, and it was sticking out stretching my skin between my vagina & anus. I had to push it towards my anus to get it out, and it sure hurt! I bled a little and now wonder if I ruined my colon area or the 6 inches from the beginning of the anus to inside. It is like there is a little area where hard pieces of poop collect. Now, I have to dig them out sometimes with my finger. It is gross. I wonder if gay men get this problem, because that hard piece of poop I got out was like a hard 6 inch you know what. Do I need to go to a colon doctor? I take flax oil pills at night and eat bran cereal in the morning. I also seem to have more gas than I used to. I am a baby boomer. I have to sit on the toilet and concentrate to get poop to come out. I do rock back and forth. One time my poop was white, but that was before I got my gallbladder out, a few years back. So, if anyone ever has white poop, get your gallbladder checked! Now, my poop is like light brown clay that has chunks and marbles and is still pliable. Thanks for reading. I am sure glad I found this site. I just typed "poop stuck" in google search engine.

I am 18 years old and for about 3 years now i have had the pooping problem too. Not just occasionally, but EVERY time i go to the bathroom, i will poop, but only like 3/4 of the poop just comes out and for some reason, i cannot get the rest of it out. It leaves me with a dirty butthole all day long and i have to wipe constantly. I have had 2 colonoscophys already, and tryed everything from suppositories to metamucil, fibercon, fiber one, zelnorm, dulocox, laxitives, stool softeners, and i also increased my fiber intake of food and water... nothing. I really dont know what to do anymore.. do anyone have a solution?

A.C., My friend, you are in luck. My friend, David Oreck has the solution for you, and it only weighs 8 lbs!!! With the upholstery attachment you should have no trouble at all sucking out those stubborn, trepidatious turds by the root!!
With the HEPA filter, you also keep the air cleaner and healthier!! Act now and we'll send you a mini room purifier at no cost, you heard me right, no cost, to you!!!

What I do when I can't clean my self totally is use a small syringe. I fill it up with some warm water. Then I put some of it in my ass. Then sit back down and fire it out. That cleans the colon, and ends the endless wiping. Don't put too much in or you could hurt yourself or make yourself sick.

i never take shits, its like a rare phenomina that happens maybe once or twice a week. today i took a poop but it was so big that my but is sore, what the hell do i do? ive tried everything, and even enema's dont work!

Psyllium all the way. I have a few spoons a day. Loose powder's a lot cheaper than the pills and the results come out (pun intended) smoothly after a day and carry on from there. I only need to use a few squares of paper now, and no grunting. So yeah. Mix powder with any liquid, chug it down (it thickens fast) and a few hours later, have a nice minute on the throne.

FIBER........ It empties your bowel with easy flowing floaters and no messy clean up.

i have this problem when my poop comes out it just sits there but then i used fiber works great dont use to much cuz i did once and i was on the toilet for hours!!!!

MSG (453) -- 01.19.2008

To keep from having more kidney stones (pain!), I must drink about 64 oz. of water a day. Most days I can at least come close, and some weekend days I can actually exceed the 64 oz. The result is that my stools are softer than they used to be, and once in a while (nowhere near every time) it really does feel as though some poop is still left inside that no amount of pushing at that time will get out. I can always wipe clean (takes 3 or 4 sets of folded paper), so I just leave the poop inside me until the next movement. I have never found that anything ends up in my pants, not even a skidmark; just sometimes I have to poop again in about an hour. I do know about the slow sticky wipe-ups, though; it is rare that I get anything solid enough for a single wiper any more.

hi, i really need help. i took a dump the other day just as i was about to lay the (possibly) last one, i relaxed my arse muscles and it all come back up. i decided that this was no problem so i wiped and went. however, about 10 mins later i experienced a very weird feeling: i felt weak and a bit cold and it felt like i was going to have really bad diorrhea, so by instinct i wen to the loo and pushed as hard as i coul but got nothing. since yesterday (the day of the 'deadly dump') i have been experiencing tis weak, sick, diorrhea-ish problem. NOTHING IS COMING OUT AND I FEEL REALLY ILL....wat's wrong with me??? and how do i help it????

Anonymous Coward (not verified) -- 03.25.2008

I thought i was the only one having this problem with bowel movements? Well,ive been trying to poop for the past two days and it starts soft by half a inch then it stops and gets stuck.Ever since then, ive been drinking alot of water and i took some laxatives,i was thinking about a enema they say it gets the job done."WHAT DO I DO PLEASE IM DESPERATE"!
