I know this is weird, but I have to know. Since having kids, I have found that when I go poop, not all the poop comes out. I have realized that there is a "pocket" in my rectum that doesn't go straight to my anus. Even with pushing not all the poop comes out. I can still tell there is poop in there. Does anyone else have this or know what this is? How can I get it corrected? Is there a way to correct it without having to go to a doctor? Thanks for reading. I didn't know who else to ask.

It is possible for part of the rectum to prolapse into the vagina, and can be corrected by surgery.
It is called a rectocele, or posterior vaginal prolapse, and you can find some info on it here...

This happens alot I have heard. The best suggestion to you is try a laxative or start getting more dietary fibers in your daily food consumption. Sometimes this can be caused by pushing too much when it is not "ready". Wait until you know you really ahve to go and try more fiber first such as greens, veggies, pills, bran, ceral, etc.
Good Luck!

Why not see a doctor who can do an examination? Your gynecologist should be able to answer your question. Some times the muscles of the pelvic floor shift while giving birth.
