Dyschezia Treatment in India

Ayaan Reddy, a 58-year-old retired school principal, had always been active and health-conscious. Over the past two years, he developed increasingly difficult and painful bowel movements. He described it as a constant feeling of incomplete evacuation, spending 30-45 minutes straining on the toilet each morning, often with bleeding. His diet was already high in fiber, and over-the-counter laxatives provided only temporary, crampy relief. His primary care doctor referred him to a gastroenterologist. After a detailed history and digital rectal exam, the doctor diagnosed dyschezia, likely due to a combination of pelvic floor dyssynergia and internal hemorrhoids. The doctor recommended a course of biofeedback therapy to retrain his pelvic floor muscles, alongside prescription stool softeners. Ayaan was initially embarrassed and frustrated, feeling his body had betrayed him. The biofeedback sessions, while awkward at first, were educational. Using sensors, a therapist taught him to relax and coordinate his muscles properly during defecation. After six weeks of therapy, Ayaan's straining reduced dramatically. His bowel movements became regular and complete within 10 minutes. The bleeding resolved. Emotionally, he moved from a place of silent shame and anxiety about his daily routine to immense relief and regained control. He felt like he got his mornings and his dignity back.
