Stomach pain with difficulty passing stool is a sign of what disease?

Question
Hello doctor,
Not long ago I had a stomach ache, when I was full and when I was hungry, I felt pain, the epigastrium, the navel area was hot and hard, fullness, gas, indigestion. Last year, I was diagnosed with HP positive, so far I have not been examined again. Recently, I have less stomach pain, but I can't go to the toilet and I don't feel the urge to go to the toilet. The first days I took an enema and laxative, I could still go, but 2 days after taking the enema, I still couldn't go out, before I had a bowel movement, my stomach was painful. The doctor asked me, what is the sign of stomach pain with difficulty passing stools? Have you ever had anal stenosis due to previous stomach problems?
