Constipation may cause faeces to pack the intestine and rectum so tightly that the normal pushing action fails and the colon is not strong enough to expel the stool. This is called faecal impaction. Accidental loss of faeces, i.e. faecal incontinence can occur in those with constipation when the bowel becomes too full. Haemorrhoids can be caused by straining to have a bowel movement. Anal fissures (tears in skin around anus) are caused when a hard stool stretches the sphincter muscle. In extreme cases straining can cause a small amount of intestinal lining to push out from the anal opening causing a rectal prolapse.
