What to do for sore rectal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on what: Caused the soreness. Is it due to constipation, diarrhea or direct trauma from insertion of anything in the rectum. Certainly correct any of the above, then soak in warm tub bath for 15-20 minutes, no longer. If it doesn't resolve or if symptoms worsen or a f3ver develops you need to see your doctor or a colo-rectal surgeon.
