Welcome to Healthcaremagic

Dear Sir
The feeling and urge for going to bathroom and not able to pass is known as Tenesmus. It usually occurs due to Proctitis (Inflammation of rectum ). Exact diagnosis will depend on detailed clinical history and examination.
It would be very helpful if you could provide me with the following additional information
1. Since how long have you been facing the problem ?
2. How often do you have bowel movement?
3. Are you constipated?
4. Do you have pain or swelling in anal region?
5. Is there bleeding while having bowel movement?
Awaiting your response
Take care
