Constipation: First, digitally removing stool is not a good idea. Trauma to the anal opening and rectum notwithstanding, pain and worsening discomfort may make the problems continue. Second, not every patient has a bowel movement 'every day'. Your regularity is unique to you (and your diet). Finally, if this problem has persisted for longer than a few days, see your doctor to discuss.
