I've searched and searched but I honestly can't find a definitive way to do the evacuation. My way just has been to put two fingers up into the rectum feel if theres anything there and then grab it with two fingersand pull it out. sometimes my sphincter is really tight so i have to stretch it to get stuff out. some times I can feel the stool up there so I try to get it out and usually I can only touch the tip of it.I don't know how to get the stool all the way down so that I dont have to reach up there. It seems like it only likes to come half way down.The only to ge it out is to reach high up past the stool but this way seems a little too invasive. What is the correct and safe way?

Hace you tried suppositories or digital stimulation? Maybe this can help?

suppositories work but once i start I have to keep using it for some reason.

digital stim doesn't really work because the problem isn't that there is no stool, the problem is getting the stool out with a tight sphicter....

I get a suppository every morning . I usually cough to help push it out. Every one's body is different but the coughing really works. (Cough cough -ploop ploop) If is there but isn't trying to exit , then do the finger in circular motion up the butt. "ditigal stimulation" good luck!
got a light?
