A member asked:
Does poop move into rectum during the day or does it only fill before a bm? in other words, is there always poop in there or just b4 a bm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Still can be in the rectum for long periods of time or can be in the sigmoid colon near the rectum both are possibilities. But it is not only in the rectum when you poop
