Question 1

can pushing hard during a bowel movement mak iud come out?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes but...: Straining at stool on occasion may promote colonic emptying , but you do so at a cost--increased risk of hemorrhoids, anal fissures, & even passing out. The better question is, "why am i having a hard time feeling empty." work-up depends on your age, sex, medical problems, current drugs, level of activity, hydration. Rule out blockage, rectal dysfunction, inflammation, non-gi problems. Don't push!

Question 2

im feeling movement like fetal movement in my stomach but had a period enough to fill up a pad and with bowel movements just last month, i have the paragard iud, the strings are way up now can barely feel them & i had protected sex?

Accepted Answer

: See your GYN physician for and exam and he/she may order a pelvic ultrasound to ensure the IUD is still located appropriately.  A serum HCG test will detect pregnancy accurately.

Question 3

ive had a copper iud for over a year but intermittently ive bleeding vaginally following bowel movements. not period related and definitely vaginal source. smear test a year ago normal. had 2 boys 3rd degree tears with both. is it caused by iud?

Accepted Answer

: IUD is not related to tears on delivery. IUD is expected to prevent pregnancy. For other issues it would be prudent to consult your gynecologist.

Question 4

for the past week ive felt discomfort on the left side of my pelvic region. tender w/ pressure and now ive been feeling waves of mild pain in the area. my bowel movements r normal. i can still feel my iud strings. no nausea, no vomit what is wrong?

Accepted Answer

Gynecologist: I recommend having an examination by your gynecologist. Pelvic inflammatory disease, tubal or ovarian pathology are possible causes   of your pelvic discomfort and tenderness.

Question 5

can pushing too hard during a bowel movement give you a feeling of pain like having a uti infection.

Accepted Answer

Uti: Yes. Straining or pushing during a bm can certainly cause the symptoms you described.  This can be due to hard stools and the pressure can be transmitted to the bladder with symptoms such as frequency urgency and. Incontinence

Question 6

for the last 2 weeks during bowel movements that i push hard, i felt a painful popping under my left rib, also hurts there when i sneeze, what could t?

Accepted Answer

Musculoskeletal pain: This could be from a pulled muscle, cartilage inflammation, tendon strain, bone bruise, etc. Local treatment like ice or heat (whichever feels better) to the area as well as ibuprofen to reduce inflammation is the best initial therapy. If it persists after a few days, or it worsens, see your doctor. A stool softener may help to prevent this and your pharmacist or doctor can recommend one for you!!

Question 7

during a bowel movement, when i push, i notice a fair amount of pain in the left side of my penis (not really in the testes). what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Referred pain: This may be hard stool inside the sigmoid colon pressing through the wall on a portion of the left pudendal nerve; a branch supplies the area you describe. If you have other left lower quadrant pain / tenderness, get with your physician for possible diverticulitis. I'd be interested in hearing from any gastroenterologists / urologists on here. Thanks.

Question 8

is it normal to push during bowel movement? and pain as well?

Accepted Answer

Not normal: You normally should not be straining or pushing during bowel movements. If you are having pain as well, you may have an anal fissure. This is a crack in the anal opening. Can be painful and also make anus feel very tight.

You may need a doctor for this. Try adding fiber and fluids, and soaking in warm water with epsom salts. If you have bleeding or pain worsens, see a doctor.

Question 9

is it normal to have to push really hard to have a bowel movement?

Accepted Answer

No: Having to push really hard suggests constipation. This can be addressed with diet, hydration, and sometimes medications. You need to have your pcp check this out so they can assist with the best/safest treatment plan.

Question 10

painful bowel movement only during period when i push or when it passes through a certain area. but i dont have this prob on non period days?

Accepted Answer

Rectal exam: You must be examined with a proctoscope or flexible sigmoidoscopy to rule out rectal fiisue, abscess, hemorrhoisw or disease of the rectum. Please call for a specialist exam (GI)
