  • Title: [Diagnosis of dyschezia].
    Author: Siproudhis L, Eléouet M, Desfourneaux V, Abittan S, Bretagne JF.
    Journal: Gastroenterol Clin Biol; 2009 Oct; 33(10-11 Suppl):F68-74. PubMed ID: 19758775.
    Abstract:
    Outlet constipation is a frustrating condition for both patients and clinicians. The former are reluctant to evoke this disabling condition. For the latter, decision-making remains uncertain since non-specific strategies are unhelpful (constipation). Thus, careful symptomatic assessment (stool consistencies), dynamic examination of the anorectal area (anismus, rectocele) and balloon expulsion test may plan therapeutic options in current situations.
