A member asked:

What could cause it to burn excessively during and for a while after pooping? i have diverticulitis and gall bladder removed. diarrhea all the time.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Fissure?: It could be an anal fissure, which tends to be very painful with bowel movements. May also be a skin problem due to chronic diarrhea. Sounds like you need a proper evaluation and good quality exam to figure it out. See your primary care, and ask whether or not it's appropriate to get a referral to a GI specialist. Hope this helps!
