A member asked:
Can forcing yourself to poop cause anal/rectal discomfort? for example, i had the urge to have a bowel movement, but i let it pass bc i was busy. about 2 hours later, i basically forced myself to poop without the urge. could this be cause discomfort?

This certainly will do no harm. But why do it? It's entirely healthy to just wait for the next natural urge.
