The first thing: I would consider is whether there is some low grade inflammatory or infectious process going on in/near the appendix which is aggravated by defecation. Sometimes the increased pressure within the pelvis associated with defecation may irritate the already inflamed organ...maybe something like diverticulitis or inflammatory bowel disease. An evaluation with your Doctor is in order. Good wishes:)
