10. Changes in Bowel Movements: RMS’s Intimate Invasion
The bowel, with its winding pathways, is a crucial part of our digestive system. Changes in its function, like constipation or diarrhea, can signal RMS’s intimate invasion, marking its presence in a deeply personal way.
One might wonder, how does a muscular tumor influence bowel movements? If RMS develops in areas like the prostate or bladder, it can press against the rectum. This pressure can lead to constipation, a symptom that might seem unrelated at first glance.
Conversely, the body might respond with diarrhea. This isn’t just about physical pressure; it’s a more intricate dance. The body might increase fluid secretion in an attempt to flush out toxins, leading to looser stools.
Bowel movements, often a taboo topic, become central in understanding RMS’s influence. They provide a window into the body’s internal landscape, revealing disruptions in the delicate balance of absorption and excretion.
On a deeper level, this symptom highlights the body’s adaptability. Despite the challenges RMS poses, the body strives to maintain homeostasis, even if it means altering one of its most basic functions. The changes in bowel movements, though intimate, are a testament to both RMS’s invasive nature and the body’s resilience. (10)
