Introduction
Defecation refers to the act of excretion. Generally, a dull abdominal pain accompanied by the urge to defecate may be caused by factors such as improper diet, constipation, or irritable bowel syndrome. Patients can receive symptomatic treatment based on the specific cause. Besides these three causes, other conditions such as bacterial enteritis, viral enteritis, or colon cancer may also be responsible. It is recommended that patients seek timely medical attention for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Defecation refers to the act of excretion. In general, a dull abdominal pain accompanied by the urge to defecate may be caused by factors such as improper diet, constipation, or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Patients can receive symptomatic treatment based on the specific cause. The details are as follows:
1. Improper Diet
Consuming excessively greasy or large amounts of food may impair intestinal digestion and bowel function, leading to dull abdominal pain and the urge to defecate. It is recommended to modify the dietary structure and make appropriate dietary adjustments.
2. Constipation
Long-term sedentary behavior with little physical activity may slow gastrointestinal motility, causing stool accumulation in the intestines and resulting in symptoms such as bloating, dull abdominal pain, and difficulty defecating. It is recommended that patients use medications such as Bifidobacterium Tristrain Live Capsules or Bacillus Subtilis Live Combined Granules under medical guidance, while also avoiding prolonged sitting and increasing physical activity.
3. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Long-term consumption of high-protein foods may impair gastrointestinal digestive function, leading to irritable bowel syndrome and causing symptoms such as dull abdominal pain and a strong urge to defecate. It is recommended that patients use medications such as Mebeverine Hydrochloride Tablets or Alverine Citrate Capsules under medical supervision, while also increasing intake of vegetables and fruits.
In addition to the three causes above, similar symptoms could also result from other conditions such as bacterial enteritis, viral enteritis, or colon cancer. Therefore, it is advised that patients seek timely medical evaluation and treatment.
