Hi all

I am new here so a brief intro. Male, 84 (GP says healthy 84 yo!), had colonoscopy in Dec 2019 which was OK. 

Last few months when sittingI get a feeling of wanting to “go”.  When I stand up this feeling disappears in seconds. Very odd. Is this a common symptom of bowel disease?  Motions OK when I’m eating properly -fruit veg fibre etc. 

I haven’t come across this searches on the Internet so I am puzzled and concerned it might be an early sign of something serious. 

I would welcome thoughts on this rare(?) symptom
