Constipation and fecal impaction are not the same thing. Many people think they are the same. While both involve the intestines and fecal matter, they are two different problems that need to be treated differently. Constipation is a term used to describe slow moving feces or stool through the intestines. The longer it takes for feces to be excreted from the body, the drier and harder it will be. Symptoms of constipation include passing small, dry, hard stools, a feeling of incomplete evacuation, straining, fatigue, bad breath, skin rashes, abdominal pain, hemorrhoids, and irregular bowel movements. Fecal impaction is the term used to describe a large amount of hard stool or fecal mass that is "stuck" in the rectum. Symptoms of fecal impaction may be similar to those of constipation. However, in addition to these symptoms, an individual may experience bladder problems, back pain, nausea, vomiting, dehydration, abdominal bloating, rapid heartbeat, sweating, fever, dizziness, and even high or low blood pressure. Individuals who have fecal impaction may also experience very explosive diarrhea. This diarrhea does not remove the blockage, it moves around the blockage.
