Many of our patients at Pelvic Rehabilitation have a pelvic floor dysfunction. Common symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction include pain with bowel movements. Having pelvic pain with bowel movements is not normal. One of the biggest taboos in all of life is talking about bowel movements. We often speak about urinating, we speak about eating, but we never talk about pooping, how we poop, how often we poop. And I find out on a daily basis that some people consider pooping twice a week as normal and that's absolutely not true. Very often people feel if they do have a bowel movement every day that they are not constipated. Having a bowel movement daily does not necessarily mean that they are not constipated. Pain with bowel movements can happen during the bowel movement, it can happen after the bowel movement, it can happen before the bowel movement.
Where people who are suffering with pelvic floor dysfunction they typically present with chronic constipation or acute constipation. We often counsel our patients who have painful bowel movements about the proper etiquette to defecating as well as different nutritional substances they can take to improve their stool consistency. Part of counseling patients for painful bowel movements is also counseling for the cause of painful bowel movements. Oftentimes we find out from patients that this is something that's been going on for years stemming from their childhood. We find that patients who have painful bowel movements typically have different causes. In some patients the cause could be something as complex as endometriosis, in other patients it could be puborectalis dyssynergia. Finding the appropriate cause will help the treatment.
