Answer 1

I don' tthink you have Hirschsprung's Disease, which is a pretty serious condition that usually has to be addressed in infancy. Here's a doctor from Brigham and Women's talking about it in the source link. I think it's some serious form of constipation, bu if you can feel something, it's probably not HD.

Answer 2

hirschsprungs disease is more worse than u describe ,i doubt it,but a biopsy must be taken to confirm aganglia(absence of nerve ganglions)
