Abstract
Dyschezia refers to difficult or painful elimination of faeces during defecation. Primarily indicative of anorectal disease or perianorectal disorders, it often, but not invariably, coexists with tenesmus. This chapter provides a general diagnostic approach to dyschezia, considering the clinical features, relevant history, physical examination and diagnostic tests.
