Probably just one of the joys of getting old - but my bowels take forever to move these days! So frustrating to have to sit on the toilet for 45 minutes at a time trying.
I'm not constipated so it's pointless taking a laxative - but it's like my bottom muscles have lost it's "oomph" when I try to push and strain.
I have a small rectocele as well, which doesn't help (sometimes I don't notice it, but when it is playing up it makes going impossible)
Very annoying
