Question: Muscles used in bowel movements


Poda - Tue Jan 23, 2007 2:57 pm

I've been having a lot of trouble with bowel movements. It feels like a physical problem, because 2 colonoscopies aren't revealing the problem. It's basically like it's hard to do like my muscles are squeezing incorrectly, but there's nothing I can do about it apparently. Anyway, can anyone name some specific muscles used in having bowel movements? The area I feel that seems to be giving me the trouble is sort of in my right lower abdomen, it like gets real tight when I start to use the bathroom.
