Abstract
Tenesmus is ineffectual and/or painful straining to urinate or defecate. Tenesmus is often associated with other signs of colonic disease, such as large intestinal diarrhoea or mucus, or both. This chapter discusses relevant history, physical examination and diagnostic tests, and provides an algorithm for approaching the patient with tenesmus.
