A member asked:
What causes stool to get backed up in the body? i have a bm atleast twice a day and yet still am backed up. why is that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Backed up: First off - there are a couple of things to be considered here. It may be you think are backed up but you are not. This happens when you feel you don't completely empty yourself when indeed you do. This is more of a psychological problem. Another option is when you indeed don't empty yourself completely. Even though, the frequency of your bm is adequate, the amount put out is small. See doc 4 that.
