What are the symptoms of colon dysfunction?

Symptoms of colon dysfunction include abdominal pain, abdominal distension, diarrhea or constipation.

1. Abdominal pain

Colonic dysfunction can lead to abnormal colon motility and stimulate peripheral nerve endings, causing abdominal pain. Patients generally manifest as paroxysmal abdominal pain, mostly in the left lower abdomen or lower abdomen.

2. Abdominal distension

Colonic dysfunction can lead to digestive and absorption disorders in the colon. Food cannot be digested in time and excessive fermentation produces gas, causing abdominal distension.

3. Diarrhea or constipation

Colonic dysfunction can lead to increased or decreased colon motility, causing diarrhea, constipation or diarrhea and constipation alternating symptoms.
