Abdominal Constipation Symptoms
If you have constipation symptoms such as cramps or abdominal pains, then it is possible that you have a blockage or fecal impaction. The impaction generally forms at the bottom of your large intestines and rectum. No new feces can be passed in bowel movements once the impaction hardens and becomes dry. The result is a growing pressure on your abdomen and lower back due to the feces piling up behind the impaction.
Eventually, if left untreated, abdominal pains will not be your only constipation symptoms. Lower back pain may result if enough feces backs up. In time, the abdominal pains will give way to a loss of appetite or even nausea. You may even notice a milky discharge during bowel movements (with little to no solid stool being present). This milky discharge made it through the fecal impaction because it was watery but even it will cease once the blockage worsens.
