I had hemmroid surgery (internal) 3 months ago. Since then, every time I have a bowel movement, I have MAJOR rectal spasms. It’s like my body attempts to push down there and it’s uncontrolable. The pain is compared to labor pains (and comes and goes like labor pains) but only in the anal area. I have been back to my doctor and he has done an additional scope and found nothing. I am wondering if anyone else out there has had a similar problem like this and if so, what was causing it and how can I get it to stop? This is a serious issue for it keeps me up at night and interferes with my taking care of my children because of the pain, so please, no stupid responses. The doctor’s can’t figure it out so I’m just hoping someone out there can help. Thank you so much.

I didn’t know how else to put it for the heading. For a long time, I’ve been having anal itching and when I wipe the anal area too rough it bleeds. I’ve tried over the counter medicines and it helps but only for a little while. I use baby wipes to cleanse that area until I take a shower. Whenever I have a bowel movement, it itches really bad and I can’t help but to wipe that area hard to keep it from itching. I don’t need nobody to be teasing me about my problem. I just need advice as to what I can use or what it could be. Thanks.

I sometimes feel as though something is crawling around inside my rectal area. What is this? On a daily basis it constantly feel like Im tightening my rectal muscles and I have to consciously try to release the tightening of that muscle and not do it. Then it feels so much better but as soon as stop concentrating on not doing I later realize I have been doing it again. I had colon polyps removed 6 years ago. Ima 29 year old female. I havent had anal bleeding since but I did alot during my pregnancy, mixed with mucous. Sometimes, I feel shooting pain in my anal area. I know I had been diagnosed with diverticulosis or something like that during the time the polyps were removed. But sometimes I can be very still and it feels like something wiggling aroundmy rectum and trying to come out, or trying to go back in. I also have tail bone pain that actually can be seen and felt in my lower back. Im a 29 yr old female. Why and What is going on?

My aunt has had severe crohns for about 5 years now. She has done all she could to avoid having surgery. Up until recently all the doctors had said she should get a colostomy bag and allow her rectal area to heal. She has several fistulas and a lot of scar tissue near her rectum. It has gotten so bad now that the doctors say, it would be best to remove her rectum and mostly all of her large intestine. She has been on imuran and remicade. They said they can not remove the scar tissue from her anal area, because it would leave her incontinent. Does diseased tissue have any chance at all to heal? I dont understand why they dont even try to do a reversible surgery? Why does such a drastic surgery have to be done? From what I have read, it sounds like, she will be in less pain though. No woman wants to have something like this done. It is just awful.
They said they can’t remove the scar tissue from her anal area because it would leave her incontinent. I think she should get a second opinion from another expert also.
