Gastroenterology

A constant feeling that you haven’t fully emptied your bowels can be caused by constipation from slow colon movement or a problem with the muscles used during bowel movements.

This sensation might happen when the signals from your stomach and brain are a bit mixed up. It involves hormones and the way your stomach empties food, which can make you feel full even when you're still hungry.

A feeling of blockage in the rectal area can be caused by a hard mass of stool (fecal impaction), a fold of the rectal wall (rectoanal intussusception), or changes in how you feel things in that area (rectal hyposensitivity).

Left-side abdominal pain with diarrhea can be caused by issues in the colon, such as diverticulitis or epiploic appendagitis, and sometimes by infections like giardiasis.

Lower abdominal pain can happen for many reasons, from problems in your intestines or urinary system to issues with muscles or, in females, the reproductive organs.

Severe abdominal pain after eating can be caused by several conditions that affect the stomach, intestines, and nearby organs. The pain typically stems from inflammation or problems like gallstones.

Severe abdominal pain and diarrhea can be caused by infections in your gut, like gastroenteritis, or by other conditions that irritate your intestines.

Stomach cramps, diarrhea, sweating, and fainting can be signs of conditions like low blood sugar after meals, the stomach emptying too quickly, or a vasovagal response.

Stomach pain and diarrhea soon after eating has several possible causes including gastritis (stomach inflammation), infections, and food intolerances.

Stomach pain that comes in waves with diarrhea might be due to an infection in your gut or to diverticular disease, where parts of your colon become inflamed.

The feeling of something blocking during a bowel movement can be caused by hard stool that gets stuck (fecal impaction), a blockage in the intestines (like from a small bowel obstruction), or pressure from a mass in the pelvic area.

Upper stomach pain with diarrhea is most often caused by an infection in your gut, such as gastroenteritis, or can be related to inflammation in the stomach and intestines.

Diverticulitis and diverticulosis are conditions related to the formation of diverticula (small pouches) in the colon. While diverticulosis is often asymptomatic, diverticulitis can cause significant discomfort and requires dietary management.

Eating foods low in fiber and not drinking enough water, along with not being active, can make stools hard and hard to pass.

Pain or a weird feeling in the lower right side of your belly can happen for many reasons, such as muscle strain, an inflamed part of your digestive system, or even a less common issue like iliopsoas bursitis related to how you sleep.

Stomach and back pain with diarrhea can be caused by infections in your gut, inflammation of organs like the pancreas, or even other infections that make your body feel unwell.

A slight pressure feeling around the rectum might be due to how the muscles and nerves in the area work, sometimes linked with constipation or changes in rectal sensitivity.

In females, left side pain under the ribs can come from issues like slipping rib syndrome, intercostal neuralgia, or even Nutcracker syndrome, which affects blood vessels near the kidney.

Severe pain on the left side of your belly can come from many causes. Any severe pain that does not go away should be evaluated by a healthcare provider.

Your lower left belly might feel weird for a number of reasons, and one common cause is a condition called diverticular disease. Other causes like gas or muscle strain can also lead to unusual feelings in that area.
