Constipation (straining, incomplete evacuation)

Straining during bowel movements and feeling as though the bowel has not completely emptied (tenesmus) suggests difficulty with the evacuation process itself. This can relate to pelvic floor dysfunction, rectal issues, or the consistency of the stool. It is different from simple hard stools and may need specific evaluation.

Common Causes of Constipation (straining, incomplete evacuation)

  • Pelvic floor dyssynergia
  • Rectal prolapse or rectocele
  • Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C)
  • Haemorrhoids obstructing passage
  • Slow transit constipation
