About Dyschezia

Dyschezia is not a procedure but a symptom characterized by painful or difficult bowel movements, often due to incomplete evacuation. A gastroenterologist's role is to diagnose and treat the underlying cause. The diagnostic process is a comprehensive medical evaluation that begins with a detailed patient history and physical examination. This is typically followed by specialized tests, which may include anorectal manometry to assess rectal and anal muscle function, a defecography (imaging study) to visualize the mechanics of defecation, and possibly a colonoscopy to rule out structural issues like tumors or inflammation. Treatment is entirely tailored to the diagnosed root cause, ranging from dietary and lifestyle modifications and biofeedback therapy for pelvic floor dysfunction to medications or, in rare cases, surgery for anatomical problems.

How to prepare

  • Detailed discussion of symptoms, medical history, and current medications with the gastroenterologist.
  • For tests like anorectal manometry or defecography: following specific dietary instructions (often a clear liquid diet) and using prescribed bowel preparation (laxatives/enemas) to empty the colon.
  • Temporary discontinuation of certain medications (e.g., blood thinners) as advised by the doctor, especially if a colonoscopy is planned.
  • Fasting for a specified period before certain diagnostic procedures.

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to three other doctors...

I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging pain and fatigue. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Latha at MGM was the first one who actually sat and listened, really listened, to everything I was saying. She ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be something quite rare. She explained it all to me in plain Tamil, drew diagrams on a notepad. I was scared, but she laid out a clear plan. It's been a long road, but I finally feel like we're getting somewhere.
