If you poop when you fart it can be that you haven't completely emptied your bowels when pooping.

Or you may also have hemorrhoids.

When you have hemorrhoids, the swelling in the veins of your rectum can prevent your anus from closing properly.

This then makes it easier for poop to escape your anus when you pass wind so you poop when you fart.

Constipation poop will most often be hard and look like tiny pebbles or tiny rocks.

It's possible that you can be constipated, yet still have bowel movements.

Constipation is typically defined as having fewer than three bowel movements a week.

When you're constipated the constipation will feel like tightness in your abdomen, or a sharp, cramping pain deep in your gut.

The signs and symptoms of constipation include.

Passing fewer than three stools a week.
Having lumpy or hard stools.
Straining to have bowel movements.
Feeling as though there's a blockage in your rectum that prevents bowel movements.
Feeling as though you can't completely empty the stool from your rectum.

To completely empty your bowels.

Drink up to 8 glasses of fluid per day e.g. water, milk, soups and juices.
Limit caffeine drinks to 2 per day.
Eat food high in soluble fiber (pasta, rice, vegetables and fruit).
Limit foods high in insoluble fiber (bran and muesli).

Sharp Pain before a bowel movement is most often because of Proctalgia.

Proctalgia is pain due to a spasm of the pelvic floor muscles, the muscles of the anal sphincter, or the muscles of the rectum.

Inflammation, irritation, and obstruction in the colon can all cause pain, which a person will typically feel as abdominal pain. Possible causes of colon-related abdominal pain include constipation, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and colorectal cancer.

Sudden severe abdominal pain, especially in the lower abdomen and on the left side, is common with colon spasms.

The pain can vary in its intensity with each spasm.

Gas or bloating.

These signs may occur any time of the day, regardless of diet.

IBS, particularly IBS-C, can lead to hemorrhoids and anal fissures, which can cause pain and bleeding of the anus and rectum.

Is it normal for your stomach to hurt before you poop?

In most cases, it's caused by gas buildup in the abdomen or from the need to have a bowel movement.

Mild or moderate abdominal pain and constipation together isn't usually cause for concern.

Painful bowel movements have many potential causes.

Some causes of painful bowel movements including constipation, diarrhea, and hemorrhoids are treatable at home.

However, other causes may require medical attention.

People who find blood in their stools or feel severe pain during bowel movements should see a doctor for advice and treatment.

A persistent change in your bowel habits, including diarrhea or constipation or a change in the consistency of your stool.

Rectal bleeding or blood in your stool.

Persistent abdominal discomfort, such as cramps, gas or pain.

A feeling that your bowel doesn't empty completely.
