Impacted rectum, how do i fix?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Consult a physician.: I guess you mean impacted stools.Consult a physician. Often a warm mineral oil enema is used to soften and lubricate the stool. However, enemas alone are usually not enough to remove a large, hardened impaction.The mass may have to be broken up by hand. This is called manual removal. A health care provider will need to insert one or two fingers into the rectum and slowly break up the mass.
