Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) happens when the muscles in the pelvic area don’t work properly. This can lead to issues like:

• Trouble controlling bowel movements (accidental stool leakage)
• Constipation or feeling like you can’t fully empty your bowels
• Pain in the pelvic area
• Problems urinating, including leaks or difficulty going

PFD can be caused by things like pregnancy and childbirth, aging, injuries, or being overweight.

A rectocele is a bulge in the wall of the rectum that can trap stool, making it hard to fully empty your bowels. Symptoms may include:

• A heavy or full feeling in the pelvic area
• Constipation
• Discomfort in the vagina
• A noticeable bulge in the vaginal wall
• Frequent urinary tract infections

Rectoceles can be caused by things like chronic coughing, long-term constipation, childbirth injuries, being overweight, or frequently lifting heavy objects.

Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS) is a group of symptoms that can affect up to 80% of people after surgery for rectal cancer. The rectum normally stores stool, and when this function is lost, bowel habits can change. Symptoms of LARS may include:

• Passing gas accidentally
• Feeling a sudden, frequent urge to use the bathroom
• Struggling to fully empty the bowels
• Stool leakage

Treatments like surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy can also damage nerves and cause inflammation, leading to long-term changes in bowel function.
