Pain in the rectum after constipation
Dyskinesia can be of 2 types - spastic( hypermotor) and atonic( hypomotor).Each of them has a character of unpleasant sensations caused by a prolonged stool delay different. This allows the specialist at the first questioning of the patient to make presumptive conclusions about which area of the intestine, direct or sigmoid, pathology has arisen, and what could cause a prolonged constipation accompanied by painful sensations in the abdomen.
But the main reason for the appearance of unpleasant sensations in dyskinesia of the intestine is that prolonged stool retention causes accumulation of hardened feces. Weak motor skills slow their progress to the anus. As a result, stagnant feces begin to decompose, releasing a large number of gases and pathogens. All this leads to the fact that with constipation the bowels strongly burst, and pains appear in it.
In spastic dyskinesia, because of the increase in the tone of the digestive organ, they are colico-like and manifested by attacks, and in the atonic, during which the peristalsis is weakened, stool retention is accompanied by blunt abdominal sensations in the abdomen. Also, with these forms of ailment, there may be concomitant symptoms, expressed in general weakness, nausea and dizziness. All this causes a decrease in the patient's working capacity.
