I’m Stan, male, just turned age 62. I’ve been having trouble with pooping for about 3 months. / I started taking Benefiber 5 weeks back, which helped. But for last 8 days or so, I have had more severe issues. Irregular bowel movements. And, the worst hermaeids I’ve ever had, right on my anus. I’ve been applying preparation H, from tube, and using little bullet shaped insert. This somewhat corresponds to my breaking a tooth off 2 weeks ago, and I still have temporary crown, so I can’t chew food very well, can’t chew on what is normally the good side of my mouth. I am mostly constipated, so I take Miralax, and sometime Exlax pill. Which helps, but when I finally get a bowel movement, it’s usually all like wet cement, only solids are little 10 centimeter round pieces. And then other times, it’s tiny little pieces of rope, or snake pieces, 8-10 centimeters’ diameter and 2-5 inches long. It feels like there is something stuck about 8-10 inches up my rectum. I try to squeeze it out. Yesterday spent 4+ hours on toilet. Again, this morning, almost blacked out few times, squeezing too hard. 5-6 days ago, I ordered fancy enema kit off amazon, installed as alternate shower head in shower, stuff that comes out from way deep it evil toxic smelling way worse than normal poop, seems like this poop has been stuck up there for a while. When I stick finger up I can feel the hemorrhoids close to surface, seems like I can also feel flap of tissue running along anus, I think it is several inches long, runs axially to direction of rectum, it’s like a dorsal fin, sticks up maybe 2-4 centimeters, or maybe it’s a bulging line from prostate. I’m trying to get a doctor apt. with new doctor. My usual physician is good, seen her for two years, but she’s a pretty lady, I don’t want her sticking finger up my but, too embarrassing for both of us.
