A fecal impaction is a large, hard mass of stool that gets stuck so badly in your colon or rectum that you can't push it out. This problem can be very severe. It can cause grave illness or even death if it's not treated.
INTRODUCTION. Visible stool burden is a common finding on plain film abdominal x-ray (AXR). The AXR is a relatively inexpensive, noninvasive imaging modality that poses a minimal radiation risk to patients and can serve as an objective measure of assessment of constipation among symptomatic patients (1).
It is important to review the x-ray yourself, as many radiologists do not think that any amount of stool in the colon is excessive. A moderate amount of stool in the left colon is normal, but a moderate to large amount of stool in the right colon is frequently a source for abdominal pain and/or peptic symptoms.
