A member asked:

I have ibs-d/m.sometimes when i go to the bathroom, it doesn't hurt, but have a gassy burning-type feel for a slight bit after.see doc-no hemm. help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anal burning: Avoid overexuberant wiping after the bowel movement as this abrasive action can irritate the anus. After a few wipes, cleanse further with patting or gentle wiping using a cloth with warm water. Pat dry and apply a soothing lotion like balneol cream or a lotion containing aloe. This helps to avoid anal irritation and fissures.
