Asking for a friend. The NHS website page on constipation says that one of the causes is "often ignoring the urge to go to the toilet". Is there a name for a condition where you never get an urge to go to the toilet, only know you need to go because you haven't been for a while and are feeling bloated etc, and have to actively do something to get things moving down there.
It's the bit in italics that I'm hoping to put a name to, if possible. It's as if those "urge" muscles don't work. Does anyone identify with this?
