Feeling of swollen intestinal muscles
I had been diagnosed with dyssynergic defecation a couple of years back. That issue is still present as I can feel that my anorectal muscles being in contracted state almost all the times. Had been diagnosed with infectious colitis before that when I got colonoscopy done. The gastroenterologist from whom I was getting treated, gave some medicines after diagnosis & told that the condition is temporary & will fade away soon. So, I didn't get tested for the same again. Now I want to know whether it is just dyssynergic defecation or something else like I.B.S./I.B.D. is also present. Below I am mentioning the major symptoms: 1. Rarely experience urge to go to the loo in the morning 2. Incomplete evacuation (Have to visit the loo 3-4 times to completely empty the bowels) 3. Many a times stool gets stuck at the rectum & doesn't come out even after straining (straining at abdominal area) 4. Mushy stool which becomes bulky only if fiber supplement is taken a day prior. 5. Lessened appetite.
