constant urge to defecate??

I have had PD for 27 years, but only recently have begun to experience a constant urge to defecate?? Constipation we all know is a typical issue with PD, the the constant urge issue we are told is not typical. Any thoughts/comments?

Have you had any blood or pus noticed in your stools? The urge you describe is often a symptom of proctitis (inflammation of the rectum), but could be just hemorhoids. Unfortunately it could also be a sign of tumors. Sounds like you need to see a GI Dr. livescience.com/54986-muham...
