Proctostasis

Proctostasis is a condition in which stool becomes trapped in the rectum. In medical circles this is often called a "butt plug". Statistics show that approximately 35% of the population has experience of this disease. It occurs against the background of almost any physical activity that you engage in. Perhaps at some point it will become difficult to walk or you will want to empty your bowels.

Many people associate this condition with constipation. But it is worth clarifying the fact that proctosis occurs both with thick feces and with a liquid consistency.

The main causes of proctosis are various intestinal diseases, as a result of which the rectal mucosa weakens.
