A member asked:
Do you feel the bulge of rectocele only when you have poop in rectum or do you feel it all day long wether there is poop there or not?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rectocele sensing: The rectocele, if present, is always evident on MD exam, however your ability to sense its' presence is more likely when the rectum is full of feces.
