Summary
This study looked at whether using a special footstool to change your sitting posture on the toilet can make bowel movements easier for people with a rectocele (a type of pelvic organ prolapse). Sixty participants tried the device and rated their straining on a 0-10 scale. The goal was to see if this simple change could reduce discomfort and improve bathroom visits.
