Stool problem
Dear Dr,
My brother is 21 and is healthy person with no underlying problems. However, he shared something with me that has kind of got me concerned about him and we would like to seek medical attention for the same.
Issue- As mentioned, he is healthy and goes to washroom daily. However, when in the toilet he controls poop for as long as he can for no reason and he has been doing it since 10 or 12 (this is the first he shared with me). By far, he hasn't got any serious problem due to this but he says he feels weakness and when he stops doing this for a week or so, the weakeness goes away. He is very addicted to doing it. After getting natures' call, he still holds it for no reason!
Please help!
