I have IBS and tenesmus but also waswasa. I find that after I use the toilet, if I don’t clean slightly inside then I feel really uncomfortable like I can still feel the stool inside. Otherwise if I clean it I don’t go back to the toilet Is it ok

Permanent Committee said it is not permissible to insert the finger inside to clean within. These questions should not be directed to me. You should ask doctors in regards to this, especially those that are specialists in waswas. If what I say contradicts what they say disregard what I say and listen to them.
