Strauss Proctogenic Constipation

**Strauss** **proctogenic** **constipation:**

The gastrointestinal tract consists of many sections, and each of them performs its own function, ensuring the normal functioning of the entire digestive system. One of the most important sections is the rectum, which is the end point of the digestive tract and performs the function of removing feces from the body.

However, in some cases, a thin rectal wall can cause intestinal dysfunction and constipation. This condition can have many causes, including poor diet, insufficient fluid intake and exercise, and various gastrointestinal diseases.

One of these diseases is **Strauss proctogenic constipation**. Described by scientists a little over a century ago, the disease is now commonly called “**duodenum**”.

**Straua's constipation** is a violation of the patency of the rectal sphincter, causing constipation with all the characteristic symptoms. The main symptoms of this unpleasant disease include: changes in stool or lack thereof, pain and heaviness in the abdominal area, as well as general malaise and fatigue.

Why was this disease named after the famous scientist? Like any other rare diagnosis, in medical practice there are cases when the symptom occurs in various diseases, from simple nausea to complex diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, the main and only sign of the presence of these symptoms is their random mention in the text of a scientific article of the 19th century.
