Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Obstipation is a severe form of constipation characterized by an inability to pass stool or gas. It is directly related to factors affecting bowel movements, such as ignoring the urge to defecate (A), insensitivity of colon and rectal tissues to feces (B), and requiring stronger stimulation for peristalsis (D). Obesity and cardiovascular disorders (C) are not directly related to the mechanical or functional aspects of bowel movement, making this option unrelated to the diagnosis of obstipation.
