Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am Dr.Amit Jain (DM, Gastroenterologist). This may be due to incomplete evacuation. So I will advise you to increase fibres in your diet by increasing fruits and vegetables in your diet and take lots of fluid. If still not improve visit a Gastroenterologist who may advise you to get proctoscopy or sigmoidoscopy to see whether there is anything wrong. I hope I have answered your query.
