A member asked:
How is tenesmus diagnosed? what tests are done ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Symptom: Tenesmus is a symptom, not a disease. It refers to the feeling of constantly needing to pass stools, despite an empty colon. There are no 'tests' for tenesmus. If you say you have it, you have it.
