I feel as if my stool does not come out completely. Please help me.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your question.

• The feeling of an incomplete bowel movement that you describe is called tenesmus in medicine. Tenesmus, as well as urgency, has quite a few possible causes, but by far the most common is the irritable and inflammatory bowel syndromes.
• Irritable bowel syndrome is a diagnosis of exclusion, which means that it is only diagnosed once more serious causes like the inflammatory bowel diseases (ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease) have been excluded, typically by doing a colonoscopy and biopsy. The symptoms of these three syndromes can overlap and cannot be readily differentiated just based on the history and blood tests.
• A colonoscopy is always needed to be performed by a gastroenterologist to ensure the correct diagnosis is made so that correct treatment can be given.
• Typical symptoms are often tenesmus, urgency, bloatedness, cramps, diarrhea or constipation, intolerance to certain foods like spicy foods, milk products, blood in stools, etc. Although only a few symptoms can be present in some.
• It is not possible to make an accurate diagnosis and exclude important causes like ulcerative colitis or Crohn's, which need long-term management by a specialist, without doing a colonoscopy. Certain things might improve your symptoms, but one should never treat something without knowing what you are treating first.

I would definitely advise you to make an appointment with a local gastroenterologist for workup and possible colonoscopy.
