A member asked:

Does divercolitis cause abdoman pain , difficulty releasing stool , mucus in stool,back pain and rectal pain that last for 30 min after bathroom?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Altthough uncommon in the young it is on the list of possibilities however rectal pain is less likely. A complete history and exam will likely bring out hemorrhoids, fissures and the need for other testing. Good luck
