Here. Look up on Wiki Answers "how does the small intestine work with other systems?" If this doesn't help type in this question on google. There is a great answer on this site for it. I had the same question :)

I can't honestly say I've come across this question or its answer before, so I'll hazard a guess based on logic.
Land animals fart because there is air in their digestive tract. This air is either swallowed or produced in the digestive tract. This happens when fermenting food being digested produces gases, some of these, such as methane, are quite smelly. Fish obviously cannot swallow air very easily because they live in water, but it would be likely that their insides also produce gas as a byproduct of digestion. So fish probably can fart, but I've honestly never seen bubbles emanating from the nether regions of my own aquarium fish!
Additional answer: Im not sure if it is called a 'fart' but I have a Weather Loach and a Albinos Claw Frog that sometimes releases bubbles from their anus. It really is funny to see a fish fart. I think they are produced by digestives gases and/or Air they can swallow when they eat to the top of the water.

Your local pharmacy will usually have a variety of hemorrhoid related treatments on offer, as this is a common problem, and you should be able to buy these straight off the shelf rather than having to speak to a pharmacist first. Your doctor can also provide you with a prescription if you are looking for a topical product. Using a product is often the best treatment for hemorrhoids but reducing straining and taking in slightly less fibre in your diet may also help you.

The body produces waste everyday.(obviously!) to rid this waste from your body it builds in your bowels until it is enough to release. Aka "going #2" if you cannot have a bowel movement however your body cannot release the waste. over time it will build and eventually make you very sick. in short you can die from no bowel movement. the toxins in your body will literally poison you. now remember this is over a quite large amount of time if you have no bowel movement over 1 or 2 days you may be just fine eat more fiber or take a laxative if problem persists. if problem passes three days see your physician immediately.

The shape of fecal matter is determined by the bowel. The bowel is a tubular muscle that moves constantly forcing the waste through the digestive system and drawing out moisture and nutrients. The final product is expelled from the rectum via the anus. The rectum is the final storage area for your intestinal tract. Inside the rectum are small folds that can expand as waste is stored. The average rectum is about 8 inches long and when it is full or irritated you get the signal that you need to have a bowel movement. The anus is a group of strong muscles at the very end of the rectum called sphincter muscles and they keep the fecal matter inside until you relax them to expel that waste. The consistency (soft or hard) of the waste matter and the amount of waste built up in your system work together to determine the shape of your fecal matter.

Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) such as ulcerative colitis will present with these symptoms, but from your brief description lets not jump to conclusions, you will need a clinical diagnosis.
Diagnosis will most likely be made via a Colonoscopy if the doctor suspects IBD.
Let me know if you'd like more info on ulcerative colitis, I am a well trained health professional in this form of medicine but I am reluctant to put any ideas in your head right now, theres no point getting you all concerned when it could be something less serious and quite manageable. Information is easily found on IBD's all over the net anyway.
For now, maintain a normal healthy diet, avoid foods and drinks (such as alcohol) which irritate the bowel, and see you doc!
