Impacted

I had a bowel impaction yesterday morning.  I strained really, really hard and after much discomfort it pushed through.  I actually felt like I had given birth.  After that I had chills, low grade fever, weakness, passed a lot of blood and sharp pain in lower pelvic area.  Today when I sit it feels like my insides are being pushed up and I still have pain when moving around.  Could I have internal damage???

Hi there!

Well, without a detailed clinical evaluation it would be difficult to comment specifically on the situation. Though minor trauma is possible, straining is unlikely to lead to major trauma; while possibilities such as infections, inflammations, injuries. growths/ masses etc may need to be considered. I would suggest considering a detailed evaluation by a gastroenterologist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
Hope this is helpful.

Take care!
