Dr. Li Jingxiang
The sensation of anal heaviness accompanied by increased bowel movements may be caused by various factors. Improper diet, such as excessive consumption of spicy or irritating foods, can stimulate the intestines, leading to more frequent bowel movements and a feeling of anal heaviness. Emotional stress may also cause intestinal dysfunction, resulting in similar symptoms. Additionally, intestinal disorders such as perianal abscess, colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, and anal conditions like hemorrhoids and anal sinusitis may also cause anal heaviness and increased frequency of bowel movements. The exact cause must be determined based on the patient's specific condition and medical examinations. Therefore, timely consultation with a healthcare professional is recommended for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
