 Defecation Motor Program
Since this pattern is observed in various mutants and in wild-type animals lacking the enteric muscles or AVL and DVB, we think that the oscillating cycle period is due to the cyclical constipation that the animals experience.
In summary, defecation is carried out by three distinct motor steps: the posterior body muscle contraction (pBoc), the anterior body muscle contraction (aBoc), and the expulsion muscle contraction (E.p or EMC).
During the expulsion step of defecation, the sphincter relaxes to allow intestinal contents to pass (Reiner and Thomas 1995).

 Defecation Disorders After Surgery for Hirschsprung’s Disease
This cycle of painful defecation and withholding behavior continues until the child experiences a sustained period of painless defecation.
Over time the urge to defecate may change to a pain perception, so that the child no longer recognizes when it is time to have a bowel movement.
The child may be having a problem with misunderstanding the signals coming from the bowels to the brain, but restoring the brain’s recognition of normal sensations is part of the child’s responsibility as he acquires normal toilet behaviors.

Effects of biofeedback on obstructive defecation: reconditioning of the defecation reflex?
Electromyography is performed by placing a surface or needle electrode at the external anal sphincter or inserting a needle into the puborectalis muscle to exclude denervation of the pudendal (S2-S4) or other branches of the sacral nerves.
Such techniques as anal electromyography and anorectal manometry are used to monitor external anal sphincter pressure during attempted expulsion of the biofeedback instrument.

The purpose of biofeedback therapy is to restore a normal pattern of defecation by using an instrument-based education program.
Thereafter, visual or auditory feedback techniques are used to provide input to the patients regarding their performance during attempted defecation maneuvers.
If a patient can demonstrate consistently, i.e., during two consecutive training sessions, a normal pattern of defecation together with an improvement in symptoms associated with difficult defecation, the training sessions may be discontinued.

Prescribing long-term laxatives for a period of several weeks may be necessary in order to force the child to defecate daily until the cause of the anorectal pain is resolved and the fecal retention behavior is unlearned.
Patients should be asked to describe in detail what happens when they try to defecate and what maneuvers (pharmacological or physical) they have used to facilitate this process.
When the stools eventually emerge, the pain of defecation is worse, encouraging the child to retain the stools further.

 Defecation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During defecation the chest muscles, diaphragm, abdominal wall muscles, and pelvic diaphragm all exert pressure on the digestive tract and respiration temporarily ceases as the lungs push the chest diaphragm down in order to exert pressure.
The positions and modalities of defecation are culture-dependent.
Loss of control may be caused by physical injury, intense emotions, impaired water absorption in the colon (see diarrhea), and psychological or neurological factors.

 The World's Healthiest Foods: Feeling Great
It is interesting, given that most digestion and absorption occurs prior to the large intestine, that food, which at this point is primarily fiber, will spend more time in your large intestine than anywhere else during digestion.
One reason food stays longer in the large intestine may be that the large intestine is capable of generating nutrients from food.
On average, food travels through the stomach in 1/2 to two hours, continues through the small intestine over the next two to six hours, and spends six to 72 hours in your large intestine before final removal by defecation.
