Why does a person constantly have constipation sticky bowels then a stool that is a big flat mushroom looking one?
It sounds like you need a colonoscopy so a doctor can visualize the bowels. Any restricted portion of the intestines can cause feces to "flatten" as it passes through that portion. it would be in the large intestines, most likely, because the feces has already become formed (not watery). As to possible causes for this, they are too many to list-- like a kink in the bowel, a small bowel blockage, something in the abdomen pressing on the bowel from outside it, etc.
Why do you urinate when you defecate?
The primary muscles that function to hold in stool are the internal and external anal sphincters. The internal sphincter is a completely involuntary organ, and as stool passes through this sphincter, the muscle slowly relaxes. The stool then contacts the external sphincter, which is a completely voluntary organ. At this point, we sense that there is an increased pressure in our rectum, and we likely feel the need to defecate. If a toilet or other commode is close by, we sit down and voluntarily relax our external anal sphincter, and the stool passes through. If, however, we would rather not have a bowel movement at that moment, we voluntarily tighten our external anal sphincter, and the stool is retained in the rectum.

What is the carrot like object found in stool?
It may be just that--a partially digested carrot. Sometimes food passes through the stomach and intestines and out with your bowel movement without fully breaking down. It is a normal condition and it is perfectly normal to see chunks of visible food in the stool occasionally. However of course, if you see a large amount of chunks of food and it does not appear food is digesting properly, or it increases in frequency, see your doctor to ensure proper bowel function.
