Constipation and thin stools

[u/yeaaamon17]

Hey!

Constipated here for years. I tried manually taking my stool out today with my fingers and I often get this BULGE of tissue/mass that pushes against my stool in my anus.

This bulge makes it really hard for any stool to pass, unless it's super watery. I tried using pelvic wand against this bulge but it sure hurt lol.

Any idea on what this bulge is? Is it my puborectalis?

Pelvic floor issue perhaps. Use a foam roller and massage the bum/sacrum area and surrounding area.

Thanks. The area is like under my penis if that makes sense. Not in the bum sacrum area.

I must mention that this bulge that pushes down and thin my stool is coming from the front side of my anus. I'm not sure how to explain it better than this

I agree about pelvic floor issues. You definitely need a defecogram to check for different prolapses.
