Constipation is one of those rare conditions that just keeps giving, and giving. Some people only suffer from infrequent bowel movements when they have constipation. Less fortunate sufferers may seek constipation relief for symptoms like:  hard or dry stool, difficulty or pain when having a bowel movement, cramps, nausea, and yes, abdominal pain.

But are abdominal pain and constipation actually linked? The simple answer is: Yes, they are. Now there are times when abdominal pains have nothing to do with constipation, and viceversa.  However, abdominal pain and constipation are linked when a fecal impaction is involved.

A fecal impaction occurs when feces collects at the bottom of the long intestine and rectum. The feces or stool will harden at this critical juncture in the bowels and cause a blockage.
