Pooping Tips: Becoming the master of your throne 👑

Thanks for sharing with us, Handyman. Have you considered pelvic floor therapy? Sometimes constipation can be a result of pelvic floor muscle dysfunction. I also suggest working with a qualified nutritionist who specializes in pelvic and digestive disorders.

I have struggled with constipation for my entire life. I have tried everything - water, fiber, exercise, nothing provides relief. I take a magnesium supplement and one senokot tablet before bed daily and this helps sometimes. I occasionally take milk of magnesium when I'm extremely uncomfortable. I always try to use natural remedies and only use medication as a last resort. Am I at risk of becoming too dependent on laxatives? Is there anything else that I can change with my diet or lifestyle to cure my chronic constipation?

Sounds like your butthole could use some love! Constipation might be coming from dyssynergic pelvic floor muscles or anismus—fancy terms for when your pelvic floor isn’t relaxing properly during a poop. It can also be tied to hydration, diet, and how much you’re moving throughout the day. I’ve found that working both the muscular and lifestyle sides can make a huge difference in getting things moving. Have you tried a Squatty Potty yet?

I get constipated a lot , many times my poop comes out as a turd , I strain a lot to let it out and so I used to spread my cheeks apart in order to widen my butthole to ease coming out my poop

I mentioned it playfully on Discord but there's truth in that—we don't often get to inspect our own buttholes unless we feel something is off.. This reminds me of a clip from the movie, hilari-ass! This Is 40 https://youtu.be/6egJfubJdYk?si=DcOAFopFUhR8_oVO

Not sure where the post was butt one member mentioned they check there partners butt hole and vise versa to make sure nothing going on? Maybe I’m taking out of context and Dr.G mentioned this should be a requirement. Before this community I had been reading in some rabbit Hole and a Man and woman said how they’ve been married for 20 years and never seen her husbands booty hole. That blew my mind because that definitely wasn’t my story. I couldn’t imagine. P.s I love in the video when you say the Colon is one big hog for water!!! Makes me think of your farming experience.

Oh goodness! Yup, need to leave that newspaper in the potty, haha. What?! Newspaper on fire under door? The bathroom door? That happened to my husband too! His poops automatically trigger when he makes himself a coffee—sometimes barely making it to the bathroom. He takes the coffee in there with him too! I give him "crap" about it, haha. Yes, it could be anal seepage from incomplete emptying or constipation or diarrhea—not normal to have anal seepage. 😬 Bidet's are nice for a fresh clean butthole. Interesting about Dutch toilet! Who here inspects their poops afterwards—I do!

Happy to hear your butthole drama has resolved, Robert!

Newspapers and magazines probably not as common to be sharing in the bathroom Butt thinking back people grabbing the Paper off the break room table to read on the John then put it back on the table wear we eat. Nice. I’ve definitely seen and been victim to someone lighting a newspaper on fire and shoved under the door. Anyways…. My wife will say why hold it in. I had a bad habit of sometimes in the AM of doing one last thing, making the coffee or putting something away while having to go then run to the bathroom. Sometimes it was already starting it’s then to rush for an evacuation. I had a co-worker coins phrase to me called the security wipe. That’s where after you’ve closed up or during the day after the muscles have retracted back to the resting place you do a wipe for security measures. This is great and not sure if that is considered anal seepage or what? I like to do the security wipe if I feel it’s needed and I’ve turned my wife on to it. And why is that if you poop, few you’ve had a full evacuation. Then the sphincter takes longer to feel closed up than the actual passing of the movement takes? Side note my Wife’s grandfather has a Dutch toilet. It’s so disgusting in a way. You’ll have to Google it if you don’t know. Basically it’s like having you poop on a shelf that doesn’t land directly in the water. It’s right there for inspection and then when you flush it gets swept away. Make sure the lid is down. This is in Eastern Europe where they have the toilet separated (in another almost closet) from the main wash room or bathtub/shower and sink are.

Nice post & video. I have the squatty potty. Recommend by my first PFPT. My PFPT said she was buying one for her parents so when going to there house she’d have one. I am luck I have very regular bowel movements and go nicely. Although I had issues at one time with anal bleeding after a bowl movement. I have had hemorrhoids ruptured but I actually had an anal fissure. Was seeing a colon and rectal surgeon . Dr. Dainel Hunt. Amazing (I remember telling my wife he had really big fingers) haha. I got a Botox inject procedure in my anus which repaired the issue. Had one more bleeding sometime after Buttttt it was what he said a Thrombone hemmroid and the fissure was ok. Didn’t have to get anything further done. That was a long process of trying different remedies to try to get it to heal. Dr. Hunt mentioned about making sure not to spend a lot of time on the toilet (as said in video) and that people to odd things while on the toilet.

A turtle head poo-king out? (Sorry, couldn't resist. 😅). It could be stool consistency (harder poops, especially initially) and it could be difficulty relaxing the anal sphincter muscles or maybe a little help from upper abdominal muscles as you exhale to help initiate the flow easier. I wonder if massaging around the anal area before you go poo would help? or a toilet bidet! I use this one: https://a.co/d/1XP6XRb

Ouch—kidney stones are rough but so glad you've overcome those issues. I love our nutritionist colleagues! They are crucial to help resolve butthole drama—that's why we have Dr. Jason on our staff. So grateful for our team! Great advice, David. 💛

Thats some funny crap Jenniewaifu haha!

Dr. Susie, I had know idea sitting to long was a problem, I just found it to be annoying. What did you call it? "prolapse" or something like that, where pelvic organs will start shifting downwards towards their openings. What if a person has a turtle head poking, but it just won't move and have to sit more than 10 minutes at a time. coming back is really not an option at that point. I have no other issues I've been drinking over 100 ounces of water a day for the past two months. I use a stoop and breath and focus on relaxing my muscles Any idea why that isn't making a difference? Once past that point everything moves fine, but getting there is exhausting! Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Rex

RJ S

I hear you, Guy!!! Just like so many other things discussed here and elsewhere, where was all of this helpful, useful information YEARS AGO???

DVM-David

Dr Susie is spot on again!!! I learned some time ago that I was naturally dehydrated without even knowing it requiring me to drink water throughout the day even when I am not thirsty!! I ended up with bladder stones leading to kidney stones!!! A few medical procedures (Urolift and some other work) later and some added fluid and medicine cured all of that!! Also, working with my degreed nutritionist, we added sprouted flourless bread to help with fiber AND by putting a tablespoon of olive oil on each slice keeps me regular like clockwork, painlessly and effortlessly - now when I gotta go, I just go!!! This all helps tremendously for I have inverse psoriasis that mainly shows up in that particular area and the bread/olive oil and staying hydrated has made a HUGE improvement - like night and day difference. NO forcing or straining at all!! I have also read about how relaxing and angle (hence the squatty potty seat) play an important role too - also, don't sit in there, get in, be done and get out!!! There are better places to catch up on reading etc. other than the bathroom. The bathroom has one purpose, to go, when you are done, you are done and get out and get on with your day happily and smiling!!!

DVM-David

I wish i'd had this information about 50 or so years ago.

Guy (works)

Since thrombosed hemorrhoids are what lead me to this community, this video is spot on

Eric Hegeman

That is a brand name, I bought one on Dr Susie's recommendation. It really does make a difference
