A member asked:

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Proctologist: I recommend consulting a proctologist for diagnosis, treatment and proper follow-up care. You may be dealing with inflammation of the rectum or internal hemorrhoids. Anal fissures usually cause discomfort on defecating. Has a gastroenterologist evaluated your chronic diarrhea? A fodmap diet may be helpful in irritable bowel syndrome.
