A member asked:
I deal with rectal discomfort, rectal bleeding, and recently a foul smell after feeling rectal discomfort. are those symptoms related to anything?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Proctologist: These symptoms suggest a rectal fissure and are best evaluated by a colorectal surgeon or a proctologist. In the meantime apply warm water compresses or take sitz baths and wear white cotton underwear,and apply an antibacterial ointment like neosporin until you are examined. Try to keep your bowel movements soft by taking a stool softener if necessary.

Hi Doc, My stool smells like burning rubber. It's not solid but not watery either. I have trapped wind and cramps. I take the mini pill, don't bleed, and I'm having menstrual symptoms. Are they connected? or could the rubbery smell be something else?
