Hi,

Pain while bending, straining at bowels can be an exertional headache. Usually exertional headaches go away on their own after some time. Sometimes they may persist for longer durations and then therapy with Indomethacin is usually prescribed.
However these symptoms could also be due to raised intracranial pressure to due to brain lesions. Therefore it is always advised to undergo a complete clinical evlaution if one gets pain when straining at stools.
Thanks
