Brief Answer:
Fecal impaction due to severe constipation.

Detailed Answer:

Have gone through your details,
I would suggest you take over the counter laxative like lactulose 20 ml twice daily even if it fails the get a fleet enema done.
If all these measures fail then it could be a result of fecal impaction in which stools would be removed manually by a healthcare professional.
Hope I was helpful,
Thanks!
