I have a problem I feel like I constantly have to go poo. I have regular BMs, so I know I'm not compacted. What is wrong with me? I almost feel like I did when I was in labor. I had a lot of labor pain in my rectum area. I have had this problem for three years. Please help me!!!

Dear Mira,

Glad to hear that you are not compacted. But you still could be impacted. Even if there are poops coming out on a regular basis, there could be some stuck in there.

Also, there could be a mass of some other sort that might need to be addressed.

I suggest you get your butt to the doctor and tell him what's going on. Three years is a long time to feel the need to poop.

Thanks for asking Motherload!
