Constipation is one of the many symptoms associated with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's thyroiditis, the autoimmune version of hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism is when your thyroid, a butterfly-shaped gland that sits at the base of your neck, becomes under-active. The thyroid regulates your metabolism and therefore, if the gland is not producing enough thyroid hormones it is operating at a slower level. This affects other organs within your body, including your digestive processes. For some, chronic-constipation can be rather bothersome while managing a thyroid condition and healthy diet.

Talk with your primary care physician, or endocrinologist, regarding the severity of your constipation as it relates to your thyroid condition. As for how often you should have a digital rectal exam (DRE) test, ask them if it seems necessary to conduct one given your health history and symptoms. Typically a digital rectal examination is done in the event your doctor sees a need to check for problems with organs in the lower belly region.
