The desire to move bowel is generally due to problems in the rectum, like inflammation. It would be prudent to see a doctor who could perform a proctoscopy to address the issue. Wish you good health!

Your symptoms might be consistent with irritable bowel syndrome, although there are other possibilities also. Initially, I would try adding extra fiber to your diet. If this does not help, or if your symptoms worsen, you should see your primary care doctor. Good luck.
