Rectocele incomplete bowel movement
Due to rectocele, I'm unable to clear all stool during a bowel movement and have a constant feeling that some stool is still inside the rectum. Should I manually evacuate the stool by inserting finger? What happens if complete evacuationn does not happen? Is it bad for health and dangerous? Is it normal and OK for stool to remain in rectum till the next bowel movement?

You should get MRI defecography to identify problem in defecation mechanism and severity. You may require medical or surgical treatment depending upon report and symptoms.
