A January 2025 Gastroenterology article reports that the five most common GI symptoms in U.S. adults are straining, incomplete emptying, hard stools, urgency, and a sensation of blocked stool passage. These symptoms, affecting 23% to 30% of adults, are often linked to pelvic floor disorders and require targeted tests including balloon expulsion, anorectal manometry, and pelvic imaging for accurate diagnosis.

Early identification and diagnosis through appropriate evaluation using the developing ARDiS diagnostic system are essential for guiding effective, personalized treatment strategies and improving patient outcomes.
