I Am New Difference In Bowel Movement - Bowel Disorders Message Board

Hello I am new and have just found this site I wonder if you can help.

Since having my 5th child 2.5 years ago now I have noticed a difference when I pass a stool.

When having a bowel movement I seem to have trouble getting this out!!!! and if I press against my virginal wall this helps get the stool out. I also can feel the stool against my virginal wall at first I thought I had a big lump down there but noticed it went when I managed to finish the bowel movement.

I have also noticed if I do not get it all out I can feel it in me when I bend down.

This week I also seem to have a lot of wind and I am going to the toilet passing stools 4 times a day!

I have no pain it is just a nuisances really.

Thanks

Hi,

I have the same exact symptoms. I have never heard anyone else talk about the vaginal wall like that. I noticed it a couple of weeks ago and it freaked me out, I thought I had a tumor or something but then went away when I got it out(stool). Maybe we are just constipated and have stool stuck in there or something. The vaginal wall and rectum lie in close proximity to each other so maybe it's normal. What do ya think?

It's called a rectocele and is common in women who have many children or even one difficult birth.

Hey Brocallie,

I had my son in 1993, was a difficult birth, they had to use vacuum suction to get him out. Could that still be the problem since it was so long ago that my son was born? Any info would be great.

I had the same problem and had my gynacologist do what is called an "anterior and posterior repair". (It is pretty common.) I also eat raw almonds to avoid becoming constipated. Problem solved! It is caused by childbirth and a weakening of the muscles if I remember correctly. Talk to your doctor!
