Urge to poop but nothing to come out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I recommend being examined by your physician, gastroenterologist or a colorectal surgeon & following their recommended testing. If no pathology is found, you are probably experiencing heightened rectal sensitivity. If so try to distract yourself. Antidepressant medication can help.
