Suggest Treatment For Tightness In The Sphincter Muscle

i was told several years ago by a doctor that my spincter was very tight. over the years it has seemed to effect my elimination process. i am 75 and if i get constipated its very straining. if i take mirolax and stool sofeners i have little finger and pencil stools. i have had my esophagus streached before and cured some food problems going down. can the spincter muscle be streched safely.
