I had a guinea pig with what sounds to be the same issue. Apparently it is common in older boys. Is he pooing or is it stuck inside him? Using lube and try getting it out. If you cannot I would suggest going to the vet asap!
Okay thank you so much

Yea what vhayley said. Its sounds like impaction. Older males sometimes get this . One of mine did. Just clean his sack out for him and check it everyday. It just where the muscles are not working as good anymore, so you have to step in and help. And if he is obese stop feeding muesly the coloured crap food and go get some nugget type food from pets at home.
Hello. It is difficult to know exactly what the problem is without more detail/photos. Bit it sounds a bit like he has impaction.

Firstly you need to clear the impaction, then you need to work on reverting it happening again. That involves a mixture of a good healthy diet and good boar care. The guides explain the necessary details for you.
If your boar is severely impacted please take him to a vet as the impaction will need to be cleared.
