To rule out incontinence
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic'
Greetings of the day
Dear Ms,
The most commonest cause of fecal smell are
1. Incontinence of feces
2. Any infective/discharging lesion in the peri-anal region
3. Are you able to smell the fecal smell?
Rectocele alone does not cause incontinence of feces. If there is no soiling of your undergarments between two bowel movements then there is no incontinence. Excessive cleaning or prolonged contact with water can cause fungal infection of the region, which could also be associated with smell.
Thorough examination of the peri-anal region, ruling out any genital infection an incontinence is required.
1.Do you have any itching or redness in peri-anal region?
2. Is there any discharge from surrounding?
3. Is there any vaginal discharge?
Awaiting your response
Take Care

Perineal Exercise will be helpful
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Dear Ms
Retroverted non gravid uterus is unlikely to press on the rectum and cause the symptoms of constipation.
The cause of constipation could be due to never injury sustained during child birth. Do not worry it recovers back.
I would suggest you the following
1. Ensure good intake of water and fiber in diet daily.
2. Avoid excessive washing of area.
3. Seitz Bath: to a tub of lukewarm water add handful of common table salt. Sit in it for 15 to 20 minutes and after that have Bath. The warmthness will relax the muscle and stimulate the nerves and help in passing stools.
4. Perineal Exercise will be helpful.
Do keep me updated
Take care
