Colon and Rectal Surgeon Questions Bowel Movement

I have a feeling that I need to go to the bathroom, but it doesn’t happen. What is the reason?

I keep getting a sensation that I want to go #2, but when I try, it doesn’t happen. Is this an indication of a colon problem?

It can be an indication of a problem. It’s important to get checked by a specialist.
There are many reasons for this. You should see a gastroenterologist and possibly get a colonoscopy if you have not recently. It could be hemorrhoids or cancer or something in between.
Depending on your age, you may need a colonoscopy.
