A member asked:
What happens if i do manual evacuation of stools by finger? i'm doing this for 10+years. started at the age of 8 and now i'm 19. will i get any problem in future?

Self disimpaction: Would suggest getting the severe constipation/ obstipation addressed with your doc as the mechanical irritation around the anal verge may create the premises of inflammation further narrowing the canal. Laxatives/stool softeners may be needed on a regular basis, but first would be to start with an exam. Behavioral training may be needed as well.
