Lg intestine is where water is absorbed. If you have to ****, and u continually suppress the feeling, water will keep being sucked out of the fecal matter by the large intestine, and it will become dry and hard to pass. A lot of old people get this problem. This is what is called "impaction" and it can be very serious.
