Question 1

weird bowel movement. didn't want to come out.  then only alittle bit did,  now have some left side groin pain?

Accepted Answer

Laxative: You may take a laxative like Dulcolax or better yet , a fiber laxative like Metamucil. Drink enough water so that your urine is colorless. You may wish to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for info:
http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form.  Drink enough water daily so that your urine is mostly colorless.
Practice safe sex.

Accepted Answer

Bowel obstruction?: Could be a bowel obstruction from a hernia. She need to go to an acute care facility such as ER for a medical evaluation as soon as possible.

Question 4

it takes me a very long time to finish a bowel movement. i don't strain, there is no pain, stool is soft and normal color. but i can be in washroom 1h?

Accepted Answer

See GI: You may have a problem with the motility of the lower GI tract. This might be amenable to medication or surgical intervention. Need to determine why is happening first. Consult a gastroenterologist.

Question 5

history of migraine lately get migraine after bowel movement even if i don't strain?

Accepted Answer

Initial thoughts: Do not know your frequency of bowel movements, but approximating this, appears you are approaching, or at, "Chronic Daily Migraines" (am assuming correct label).  Advise you to start prophylactic medication, as this can readily break up pattern.  See a neurologist and start to stabilize all of this.  (Wonder if CGRP category will be best for you?)

Question 6

i feel exhausted after almost every bowel movement, even when i don't strain. but i'll be fine before. what could it mean?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If this is recent you may have a virus which may just resolve on its own.  If it has been a long term problem review this withyour doctor and see if you need labs to check for anemia or blood in your stool or thyroid problems.   If you have recently been checked and told you were fine and not pregnant then it will probably resolve on its own.

Question 7

i have coccyx pain for 2 yearsespecially after having bowel movement even though i don't strain . what can i do ? i haven't fallen it started spontaneously

Accepted Answer

Coccyx pain: You need to see your physician for a proper history and examination to care what is causing the problem.

Question 8

can straining to have a bowel movement cause your body temperature to rise a little bit? isn't there a nervenor something that can get irritated during a bowel movement, which can cause reactions like that?

Accepted Answer

Fever?: No, this isn't possible and doesn't happen.  Don't worry about it.

Question 9

can i strain to have a bowel movement if i have chf?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but...: straining to have a bowel movement shouldn't be a problem with CHF, but frequently, if you increase the amount of fiber in your diet, your stools will come out easily enough that you shouldn't have to strain. I would give that a try if I were you. Good luck.

Question 10

i sometimes have clear penile discharge when straining during a bowel movement, is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Prostate Fluid: This is common. It is prostate fluid, semen and sperm.
