while were on this subject sometimes my poop is so HARD that it can't come out and that is when I wrap tissue around my hand and I reach back or I put a glove on and push the front of the skin of where your poop comes out and slightly push it with your arm versus your body.
A stool softener helps very much with this. Twice a day, it draws moisture to the stool so it can pass easier. It's great! It isn't a laxative, it doesn't stimulate the muscles to make you go, it just allows you to pass the stool easily: sit down, go, done.
