A member asked:

What exactly does it mean when a person has a very large bowel movement that burns?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Constipation: It sounds like you might have stretched the anus possibly even torn it from size of stool. Have your doctor check and discuss prevention of constipation, many treatments are available over the counter including water don't over use stool softeners and laxatives.
