We go beyond basic history. Advanced tests like Manometry help us find the *exact* mechanical fault in your system.
Digital Rectal Exam (DRE) to check anal tone and rule out fecal impaction or tumors.
A camera exam to rule out cancer, polyps, or strictures (narrowing) inside the colon.
You swallow a capsule with markers. X-rays are taken days later to see how fast they move through the gut.
A balloon test to measure pressure in the rectum. It checks if your muscles relax correctly to let stool out.
Dr. Jaya Explains
"Manometry is the gold standard for diagnosing Outlet Dysfunction. Without it, we are just guessing."
This specialized test measures the pressure of your anal sphincter muscles. It tells us if your muscles are too tight or too weak.
Treating the wrong type of constipation (e.g., giving fiber for Outlet Dysfunction) can make bloating and pain worse. Diagnosis is key.
