Pelvic floor dyssynergia rectal abnormal

2022-01-17 16:11:43
I am suffering from abnormal defecation problems since 3 years. i have been diagnosed with pelvic floor dyssynergia through a balloon expulsion test and rectal manometry. These tests were done on recommendation of gastroenterologist from sgpgi, Lucknow. But i am not satisfied with the medications given because as far as i have read about pelvic floor dyssynergia, it is about dysfunctional pelvic muscles but the medicine is for constipation. and the medicines are for a course of 6 weeks .the doctor didn't give any precautions or exercises anything like that. i am really frustrated. what type of doctor should i consult? a gastroenterologist, a neurologist or any other?
