Will straining all day make your rectum more sensitive and make you get more urgency feeling?

I persistently strain on the toilet and for me yes it does make you feel like you need to go all the time.At times it is only wind i pass or mucous.My pelvic floor is damaged due to straining,so trying to do the exercises i have been told to do.I am trying to not strain as much and not run off to the toilet with every slight feeling,difficult i know,but trying.

It won't help.The more you focus on everything that makes you anxious the more you notice every little thing.Have you seen a doctor about your GI symptoms or your anxiety, yet?Because you keep posting about straining.http://www.ibsgroup.org/forums/index.php?s...mp;hl=straining
