Dyssynergic Defecation Treatment in Bangladesh

What is dyssynergic defecation?

Dyssynergic defecation is a common yet often misunderstood condition where the muscles involved in bowel movements do not work in coordination. As a result, individuals experience chronic constipation, straining during defecation, and a feeling of incomplete evacuation.

Unlike occasional constipation caused by diet or dehydration, dyssynergic defecation is a functional defecation disorder; it occurs due to impaired muscle coordination, not a structural problem. Thankfully, it is treatable with the right diagnosis and therapy.

Diagnostic process of dyssynergic defecation

Proper diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment. Dr. Tariq Akhtar Khan uses the following advanced techniques for successful diagnosis. Here, we have detailed the process.

  • Detailed clinical evaluation: Your medical history, bowel habits, and previous treatments are reviewed to identify possible causes and rule out other conditions like IBS or mechanical obstruction. Digital rectal examination.
  • Anorectal manometry: A small catheter with sensors is inserted into the rectum to measure the coordination, strength, and pressure of rectal and anal muscles during simulated bowel movements.
  • Balloon expulsion test: This simple test checks how easily you can expel a small balloon inserted into the rectum. Difficulty in doing so may indicate dyssynergia.
  • Defecography (MRI or X-ray): A special imaging test that shows how the rectum and anal canal behave during defecation. It helps detect structural and functional issues.
  • Colonoscopy: To rule out polyps, colorectal cancer, strictures, or other diseases.
