Why Is My Bowel Function So Strenuous?

My bowel function, ie the action of the bowel that causes the elimination of fecal matter, is basically non-functional. The only way I can have a bowel movement is to strain my lower abdomen muscles. This started several years ago after a severe case of constipation.

According to your complain you have problem in bowel movement that may be because of lack of high fiber food and water intake...

Lack of gastric motility also cause constipation problem....

Hypothyroidism cause this type of symptoms..

Detail history and physical examination give exact idea..
Barium abdominal x ray helpful in diagnosis...
Colonoscopy can done for further diagnosis..
Consult a gastroenterologist for further diagnosis..
