What Causes Difficulty In Bowel Movement With Numbness In The Feet And Legs?

I just had a bowl movement and while it was happening my feet and legs went numb and they still are. The same thing happened yesterday but I also had trouble having a bowl movement. This is not the first time this has occurred. Why did it happen or why does it happen?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it is nonspecific kind of symptoms you have, you must be having such symptoms of numbness of limbs after bowel movement but it may not be due to passing of stool but it could be due to poor posture while you sit for defecation or it could be functional kind of symptoms try have proper posture and no need to worry about this hope this information helps.
