Lower back pain straining while pooping?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pooping and pain: When defecating or straining, you increase your internal abdominal and pelvic pressure/force. That force, is then transmitted to the tissues, muscles, ligaments and nerves in your back which the patient senses as back pain. This typically signal that your lower back muscles, ligaments and joints are deconditioned and weak. Therapeutic exercises to stretch, strengthen the abdominal and lumbar.
