A member asked:
Is it called tenesmus if you feel the urge to go but cant, when your bowels are actually not empty? or is there another term for that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tenesmus is the feeling that you need to pass stools, even though your bowels are already empty. It may involve straining, pain, and cramping. ref: https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/003131.htm#
