A member asked:
Would tenesmus as a result of a colorectal tumor be constant? or can the sensation come and go?

Symptom can come and go but if there is a specific etiology the symptom will recur. The cause has to be eradicated or treated so the symptom won't recur.

Constant tenesmus is more likely to be due to proclitic, though rectal tumor also would cause constant tenesmus.
