Brief Answer:
I do suspect an abnormality of the large intestine

Detailed Answer:
Hello once again sir.

Thank you so much for that information.

I was asking if you get the abdominal cramping or urge to want to pass your bowels when you are stressed, not if you stress while passing your bowels?

All other questions provide me with more clarity on your situation, and I strongly suspect a condition of the colon (large intestine), but cannot narrow it down to the exact cause. But a few of the possibilities include: inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), diverticulosis, etc.

I would recommend a colonoscopy examination to be conducted when you are experiencing your symptoms (which is anytime now). Please do consult a hospital and fix an appointment for the same so that we can narrow down or even find the exact cause for your presentation, I am sure this investigation will provide us with some concrete answers.

Please also do not hesitate to keep in touch with me or to write to me with any further clarifications, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.

Brief Answer:
Yes stool softeners can do that in a few colon conditions

Detailed Answer:
Hello once again :)

Yes, stool softeners do worsen the situation with the conditions I am suspecting.

As for the colonoscopy, I meant you should get it done the day you are experiencing your symptoms. Like if you experienced it last evening, you can get the colonoscopy conducted within the next 24 hours.

A colonoscopy gives us a more in depth view and idea of what is happening inside, and if there is any inflmmation, or any internal causes for the presentation you are experiencing.

Best wishes sir.
