What are the symptoms?

  • Fewer bowel motions than usual
  • Having to strain to pass a motion
  • Pain when passing a motion
  • Passing motions that are dry and hard, like rabbit pellets
  • A feeling of incomplete bowel emptying

Sometimes straining may be ineffective and no motion is passed.

People with constipation may quickly feel full when eating. Bloating, nausea, even vomiting may occur. Straining may cause piles and rectal bleeding.
