Feeling the urge to defecate but unable to pass stool, as if the anus is blocked, suggests that patients should engage in more physical activity. If exercise does not resolve the issue, it is recommended to consume fiber-rich foods such as bananas and celery, or use glycerin enema for local administration. Poor bowel movements are often caused by excessively dry and hard stools, which can be improved through dietary adjustments—eating more vegetables and fruits, drinking plenty of water, and massaging the abdomen in a clockwise direction can help alleviate symptoms of intestinal dryness and constipation.
