This is a dangerous situation. You are risking perforation of your colon, rectal infection, and myriad other complications by continuing in this manner. Fibroids can grow extremely large and cause excessive bleeding along with other issues.

If you do not feel confident with your surgeon's recommendations, I suggest you seek a second opinion. There are other treatments for fibroids, but it depends on your specific situation as well as the size of the fibroids. We have an article on fibroids: https://www.empowher.com/reproductive-system/content/do-uterine-fibroids-lead-cancer

Please do not continue this way. Continued manual disimpaction like this can lead to serious consequences. Get a second opinion, find a physician you are comfortable with, and take care of this problem before it becomes a medical emergency.
