Question 1

recently, my bottom has been very sore due to frequent bowel movements. could this be a result of irritable bowel syndrome?

Accepted Answer

No: Soreness in your anus is irritation from the stool or too frequent of passing of stool.
Try applying some vitamin a & d ointment, neosporin cream and take tylenol (acetaminophen) for pain.
Ibs/ irritable bowel syndrome would present with alternating diarrhea and constipation accompanied by abdominal cramping, nausea, etc. And ibs is diagnosed after all other diagnoses are ruled out.
Take care!

Question 4

rectal pain and unable to make a bowel movement. impacted?

Accepted Answer

Fissure, maybe...: You may have a fissure- an acute crack or tear in the anal canal that is quite painful. Spasm of pelvic floor muscles and nonrelaxation of the sphincter can make it difficult to move bowels. Drink plenty of water, try a stool sotener, but above all, see your doctor asap for diagnosis in person, and to rule out more concerning issues that may be present.

Question 5

severe rectal pain during bowel movement causing fainting. what condition is this?

Accepted Answer

Defecation syncope,: Is what you are describing. Significant vagal nerve stimulus from painful defecation or heavy bearing down. This is due to the Insulin resistance syndrome, get checked for this and follow a low-glycemic index diet and get frequent, aerobic exercise. But why so much pain with defecation? You need to see a gastroenterologist to figure this part of it out.

Question 6

woke to severe rectal pain. didn't feel constipated but used glycerin suppository in case. next day had a bowel movement w/ some grayish poop at end?

Accepted Answer

If persists&gt; see Dr: There are a number of conditions that can cause rectal pain. If the pain occurred only once and you don't have pain on defecating it's possible the pain may be due to Proctalgia fugax. This can be due to spasm of the anal muscles, nerve compression or other causes. If you continue to have symptoms see a colorectal surgeon or GI specialist for a precise diagnosis.&gt; http://bit.ly/1VI0NUc

Question 7

i have severe rectal pain during periods while bowel movement and passing gas . can u suggest remedy for this situation ?

Accepted Answer

Rectal Pain: Many reasons could cause rectal pain such as hemorrhoids or anal fissures. You should see a gastroenterologist for a formal exam and possible anoscopy (endoscopic) evaluation

Question 8

what exactly is constipation? is it reduced bowel movements or none at all? that being said, can constipation cause rectal pain and pressure?

Accepted Answer

: Both could happen, decreased bowel movements, difficulty with bowel movements (even if you feel the urge).  If you don't have one at all for some time.... that's a little more serious and suggests a bowel obstruction.  Do remember "normal" bowel movements can have a significant range and still be considered "normal".  Usually people can vary between 3 times per day, down to 3 times per week.

Any lightheadedness or fatigue at rest or exertion. As a woman you will also lose blood via menstruation so see MD ASAP to make sure you’re not anemic ER if worsening fatigue shortness of breath or fever/chills if bad don’t hesitate to call 911

Question 10

i have mild spontaneous rectal pain which comes and goes during the day, irrelevant of bowel movements, and with no other symptoms, what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Proctalgia : Is many times generated through muscle spasm or nerve compression and work up is needed in order to understand if structural changes are present. Talk to your doc about your symptoms so that workup can be started.
