The major signs of Tenesmus are feelings of needing the toilet but unable to go, severe cramping and pain in the rectum, the need to strain harder than normal to only pass a small stool.

Reasons for Tenesmus can vary greatly from Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), through to colon infection, IBS and it can also be a sign of colorectal cancer, however, this is rare.
