I am having trouble pooping and have rectal pain what will a doctor do if i see them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Will check for: fecal impaction in rectum and examine your abdome after taking a thorough history. If indicated they made order an xray or CT scan. May try glycerine suppository or a fleet mineral oil enema if all else checks out but you need to get a diagnosis and proper treatment
