Tenesmus
Tenesmus is a feeling of incomplete defecation. It is experienced as an inability or difficulty to empty the bowel at defecation. It is frequently painful and may be accompanied by involuntary straining and other gastrointestinal symptoms."Vesical tenesmus" is a similar condition, referring to difficult or failed attempts to urinate despite the bladder feeling full."Rectal tenesmus" is sometimes used as a retronym to further distinguish defecation-related tenesmus from vesical tenesmus.
