Anal cancer
Anal cancer is a cancer (malignant tumor) which arises from the anus, the distal opening of the gastrointestinal tract.

Anal stricture
Anal stricture or anal stenosis is a narrowing of the anal canal.

Anismus
Anismus (or dyssynergic defecation) refers to the failure of the normal relaxation of pelvic floor muscles during attempted defecation.
New!!: Obstructed defecation and Anismus · See more »
Bowel obstruction
Bowel obstruction, also known as intestinal obstruction, is a mechanical or functional obstruction of the intestines which prevents the normal movement of the products of digestion.

Chagas disease
Chagas disease, also known as American trypanosomiasis, is a tropical parasitic disease caused by the protist Trypanosoma cruzi.

Colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer (CRC), also known as bowel cancer and colon cancer, is the development of cancer from the colon or rectum (parts of the large intestine).

Constipation
Constipation refers to bowel movements that are infrequent or hard to pass.

Defecation
Defecation is the final act of digestion, by which organisms eliminate solid, semisolid, or liquid waste material from the digestive tract via the anus.

Defecography
Defecography (also known as proctography, defecating/defecation proctography, evacuating/evacuation proctography or dynamic rectal examination) is a type of medical radiological imaging in which the mechanics of a patient's defecation are visualized in real time using a fluoroscope.

Descending perineum syndrome
Descending perineum syndrome (also known as Levator plate sagging) refers to a condition where the perineum "balloons" several centimeters below the bony outlet of the pelvis during strain, although this descent may happen without straining.

Enema
An enema is the injection of fluid into the lower bowel by way of the rectum.

Enterocele
An enterocele or enterocoele is a protrusion of the small intestines and peritoneum into the vaginal canal.
New!!: Obstructed defecation and Enterocele · See more »
External anal sphincter
The external anal sphincter (or sphincter ani externus) is a flat plane of muscular fibers, elliptical in shape and intimately adherent to the skin surrounding the margin of the anus.
New!!: Obstructed defecation and External anal sphincter · See more »
Fecal impaction
A fecal impaction is a solid, immobile bulk of feces that can develop in the rectum as a result of chronic constipation.
New!!: Obstructed defecation and Fecal impaction · See more »
Fecal incontinence
Fecal incontinence (FI), also known as anal incontinence, or in some forms encopresis, is a lack of control over defecation, leading to involuntary loss of bowel contents—including flatus (gas), liquid stool elements and mucus, or solid feces.
New!!: Obstructed defecation and Fecal incontinence · See more »
Functional disorder
A functional disorder is a medical condition that impairs normal functioning of bodily processes that remains largely undetected under examination, dissection or even under a microscope.
New!!: Obstructed defecation and Functional disorder · See more »
Hirschsprung's disease
Hirschsprung's disease (HD or HSCR) is a birth defect in which nerves are missing from parts of the intestine.

Hypertonia
Hypertonia is a term sometimes used synonymously with spasticity and rigidity in the literature surrounding damage to the central nervous system, namely upper motor neuron lesions.
New!!: Obstructed defecation and Hypertonia · See more »
Internal anal sphincter
The internal anal sphincter, IAS, (or sphincter ani internus) is a muscular ring that surrounds about 2.5–4.0 cm of the anal canal; its inferior border is in contact with, but quite separate from, the external anal sphincter.
New!!: Obstructed defecation and Internal anal sphincter · See more »
Laxative
Laxatives, purgatives, or aperients are substances that loosen stools and increase bowel movements.
New!!: Obstructed defecation and Laxative · See more »
Megarectum
Megarectum is a large rectum as a result of underlying nerve supply abnormalities or muscle dysfunction, which remains after disimpaction of the rectum.
New!!: Obstructed defecation and Megarectum · See more »
Multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disease in which the insulating covers of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord are damaged.
New!!: Obstructed defecation and Multiple sclerosis · See more »
Pelvic floor
The pelvic floor or pelvic diaphragm is composed of muscle fibers of the levator ani, the coccygeus muscle, and associated connective tissue which span the area underneath the pelvis.
New!!: Obstructed defecation and Pelvic floor · See more »
Pelvic floor dysfunction
Pelvic floor dysfunction is an umbrella term for a variety of disorders that occur when pelvic floor muscles and ligaments are impaired.
New!!: Obstructed defecation and Pelvic floor dysfunction · See more »
Rectal pain
Rectal pain is the symptom of pain in the area of the rectum.
New!!: Obstructed defecation and Rectal pain · See more »
Rectal prolapse
Rectal prolapse often used to mean complete rectal prolapse (external rectal prolapse), where the rectal walls have prolapsed to a degree where they protrude out the anus and are visible outside the body.
New!!: Obstructed defecation and Rectal prolapse · See more »
Rectal tenesmus
Rectal tenesmus (tēnesmus, from Greek τεινεσμός teinesmos, from τείνω teínō to stretch, strain) is a feeling of incomplete defecation.

A rectocele or posterior vaginal wall prolapse results when the rectum herniates into or forms a bulge in the vagina.
