A member asked:

I have recurrent rectal pain. usually happens in the middle of the night and lasts about 20 min or so. its like a deep ache but very strong.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Rectal vs. GYN: The symptoms you are describing could be related to constipation/colitis or could be related to endometriosis as well in your age group. I would recommend using a stool softener and if you can maintain a regular bowel regimen and your symptoms persists, you may need to consult a gyn for diagnosis and treatment of possible endometriosis of your colon/bowel.
