6. Bloating and Gas: The Uncomfortable Companions
Bloating isn’t just about looks. It’s a feeling. Anismus sufferers often feel “full.” Their abdomen expands. Gas builds up, leading to discomfort and pain.
Stool that doesn’t pass builds up. This causes gas production in the intestines. It’s a reaction to the delayed bowel movements. When muscles don’t cooperate, stools stagnate. Gas becomes a byproduct, leading to that bloated feeling.
Bloating affects daily life. Clothes fit tighter. There’s a constant need to pass gas. Social situations become tricky. It’s more than physical discomfort. It’s a psychological burden, impacting confidence and self-esteem. (6)
