Q: type 5 stools, feel complete after bowel movement but able to feel stool left through the rectovaginal wall after a bowel movement. is this normal?

: Since type 5 stools is diarrhea &amp; if you're truly able to palpate firm stool through the rectovaginal wall, watery or very loose stools may be oozing out of the rectum around solid stool left behind. A rectal examination by your MD, gynecologist or a proctologist could confirm this.
