Hello,
It might be due to abnormalities in the bowel movement.
We have ruled out obstruction and tumor by colonoscopy.
You can go for manometer studies to make a diagnosis.
As of now you can continue laxatives for symptomatic relief.
Include more fiber-rich foods to your diet.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
