Does anybody else push on their sides when they're pooping?

When I poop, I'll take my have and make a "knife hand" and massage the area above my hip and grab the side of my stomach while bending over to help the poop get out instead of straining. It's this weird?

That’s going to give you a hernia. Not worth the time and money to fix that.

Fix your diet. Try FODMAP.
