A member asked:

I sometimes experience severe pain in my stomach only when i am pooping. before the poop, it doesnt hurt. during, its bad.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bowel cramps: During defecation (pooping), the rectum squeezes the stool out and the colon contents move further from right to left in your abdomen. Trapped gas and large amounts of stool can result in cramping.
