Frequent bowel movements, fleeling like bowels not emptied. Cause?

Resolved Question:

I am a 30 year old male from India. I have started experiencing frequent bowel movements with a feeling that bowels are not emptied completely. Stool consistency is soft. Consulted with a doctor 15 days back. He examined me physically and asked me to take more fibers/water. Doing that has mitigated the problem but not completely solved it. I am worried that it might be something serious. There is no blood, pus or mucous in the stool. Please help.

It looks like you have irritable bowel syndrome only .
You doctor was right in asking you to increase the fiber intake.
