Rectum/anus won't relax/open all the way to properly evacuate stool, even when i have diarrhea. what tests are there to see if there is malfunctioning?

Pelvic Floor Studies: Exam by a doctor first. Pending the findings on history and physical, your doc will tailor testing to defecography or manometry or some other studies used to determine where the problem is.

A member asked:
Wondering if I'm wiping too aggressively when I pass stool. I like to make sure I clean out my anus well. But I think I might be wiping too deep inside me. Can you push too far inside and irritate the rectum? I'm noticing faint blood marks on the TP?
