What Causes Frequent Defecation With Severe Flatulence And Spasms In The Rectum?
HI, I m a 34 year old female and have had a change in my bowel movements that has lasted for almost 5 months. My stool has become very narrow, about the diameter of a pencil, consistently, without change. I have increased frequency to defacate, but do not experience pain while doing so. I have had an embarrassing amount of gas for almost as long as well. For the past 4 days, I have been experiencing non painful spasms in my rectal area. I know I should probably go to the doctor, but, it s embarrassing. Any ideas?

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for your query.
These symptoms are called tensmus and may indicate various diseases and in first place this is rectal polyp or fissure but also some more serious should be ruled out such as tumors and this should be ruled out with colonoscopy or rectoscopy. Till that you should have more liquid diet and high fibre food.
Wish you good health. Regards
