Yesterday I went to see my doctor and she examined me and said I had some blood in my rectal area. She said to go to the ER if it gets any worse. It hasn’t gotten worse but its been bleeding for two days and I’m kind of concerned. Its bleeding even when I am not having a bowel movement. So my first question is should I go to the ER?

Also I wanted to share with you my symptoms. I have had alternating constipation and diarrhea for the past month and small bleeding after bowel movements. and like i mentioned above, for the past 2 days it hasn’t stopped bleeding. Could anyone maybe help me out on what this might be? I am also only 18 years old if that makes a difference. I am not in any type of pain.

For the past two days I have had a constant pain in my lower abdomen. It started on the left side and has traveled to the middle and now it is worse on the right side. Every half hour or so I have a sever shooting pain that lasts for 5-20 seconds. These pains have me doubled over and it feels like something is trying to get out of my body! I don’t have any pain when I urinate or have a BM, but it does hurt to pass gas.

The pain is worse when I up and moving, and my rectal area hurts when I sit down. I went to Urgent Care today and the doctor said he had no ideas but that I did have a Urinary Tract Infection. I’ve had UTI’s before and have never had this kind of pain, and have always had pain while urinating. This time- no painful urination and no other UTI symptoms!

IMO, this doctor was trying to shuffle me out of the clinic and give me any diagnosis he could so that I would leave. I am concerned that there is something more seriously wrong with me and am wondering if anyone else has had similar symptoms and has gotten a diagnosis.

A little about me: 27 years old, female, hypothyroid and PCOS.

I have been having these god awful, cramp/spam like pains in my rectal and vaginal wall area. I don’t know what triggers it but today it keeps worsening with movement, usually increased pressure like sitting down. Also causes spasms if I strain, like trying to pass gas or something. The pain is so severe I have to very slowly sir and let it peak and pass. The pain is mostly around my rectal area but it definitely travels to what feels like the walls of my vagina. I think it is proctalgia fugax but I’ve had this pain when I sit down for the past six hours…… I’ve had it before and its ranged from one spasm to long episodes like these. I’m currently on my period but idk if that has anything to do with it!

My fam has a history of colon cancer, and my mom is all scared that I have it. I’m 20 and currently adjusting to a vegan diet, so I have a lot of abdominal troubles. I don’t have any other symptoms of colorectal cancer so I’m not super worried. Do you think this is proctalgia fugax? Or is it something else causing these issues?

I do have benign ovarian cysts and I get odd cramps (nothing like these sharp shooting pains) after sex/orgasm. Someone mentioned the cysts causing this kind of pain, but I don’t know that truth behind that. The only thing that doesn’t really fit with what people have said about proctalgia fugax is pursue and massage deceases pain, but it increases it for me! Its excruciating at the peak of the spasms please help. I’m going to try to squeeze in a visit to the doc next week but at the same time I’m sort of afraid to go.

Sorry the post is a little incoherent. Typing on my phone. Hurts too much to get up >.<
Hmm youre right, it may be the stress, tho not from this issue. With combo of things today was so stressful for me I felt nauseated most of the time. I don’t usually get so stressed so today wa something new and this is the longest these pains have lasted. Thanks I’ll hopefully see this gone by tomorrow, at least for another few months.

But, the cramping from the cysts is very, very different from this pain >.< I found a forum where a lot of people experience exactly what I’m describing but no one had any answers.

I am a 31 year old female. I have suffered with painful menstrual cramps and frequent urination (as in every 15 minutes) since I was a teenager. I got married 3 years ago and found that additionally, intercourse is excruciatingly painful for me. After seeing many doctors who told me that it was all in my head, I needed to see a psychiatrist, etc, I was referred to a urologist who found I have an ulcerated bladder and diagnosed me with interstitial cystitis, and then to a obgyn who did a laparoscopy and found endometriosis, which he removed. I continue to have painful intercourse. I feels like somebody is stabbing me in the rectal area with a knife when my husband tries to enter (and he is a very gentle and patient man); and then for the next several days will continue to feel like something knife-sharp is trying to exit my body through my butt. The doctors have told me they’ve found everything they can find and done everything they can do. This is not in my head, the pain is real. I feel desperate, we have been married 3 years now and I know he feels rejected. Has anybody else experienced this? Any suggestions?

I know this is kind of a personal question, but I am 25 weeks pregnant today and I am experiencing rectal bleeding but I do not have hemorrhoids or at least I don’t think so.

I am in extreme pain and I am wondering if this is normal.
It is a bright red blood coming from the rectal area(sorry TMI)

Thank you in advance

i have been having the bad back pain for about 3 weeks now but since my ob appt. yesterday its intensed..the same goes for my rectal pressure..i feel like i have to have a bm every hour..i’ve had 5 already today 2 being diarrhea,2 lose and 1 that i had to help by pushin some and when i did i thought i was pushin the baby out!!!It added that much more pressure to my pelvic and rectal area and from then and still now i have worse back pain and its like a stabbing knife being pulled in and our right above my tailbone area but along with it theres a burning pain all the way across…new today i woke up with some low low belly pain that hurts like my skins tearing open…i have some contractions bout 3 an hour but they only go then none for a few hours..my belly gets pretty much fully hard but i have no pain in my belly. i’m having mucus that is slightly pinkish again even tho i lost my bloody show amost 2 weeks ago twice and my mucus plug for the last week..i went to my ob yesterday and i had gone to 2-3 cm dilated at 75-80% effaced..he said i was opening good and wide..its snowing like crazy where im at and i fear labor..i dont think im leaking however i have little leaks that do not smell like pee i’ve had 3 today and 1 lil one yesterday..i would like to get comments from people who have done this or similar to this.. again i am 35 weeks today..been on bedrest the last 4 months due to a short thinned cervix(2cm) and as of last week the baby was head down enggaged in posterio position and weighin est. 7 1/2 lbs…yesterday i dilated to a 2-3 cm at 75-80% which the 2 1/2 months prior to yesterday i was almost 1 at 65-70%
no more leaking at all…however increased pressure and peeing a lot. had 2 more bms and having like a pinching/stabbing pain in my vagina when the baby moves..his movements have decreased compared to yesterday. i still have the sick to my belly feeling but feel wide awake…

My cramping is so so severe that walking makes it worse and if I am walking my body starts getting numb, I feel hot, and I feel like I’m going to faint. The cramping feels like something is stabbing my uterus and the pain radiates down to the rectal area making me feel like I have to use the restroom but I don’t have to. I am 27yrs old otherwise healthy and this has happened 2 days in a row.

Ok so I have an ergant problem that i cant really tell my mother about unless im sure it is serious… the thing is that we are really poor and i dont want to have to waist a doctors bill on somthing like gas… I was adopted and Because im 18 now i dont think i have medical insurance sooo im screwed…

I have a pain in the very lower area of my stomach… yesterday it was only in the right side now it has spreaded about around my belly button and as im sitting here toward my back… it does apear that i have bloating or somthing and sometimes i have breakthroughs in my period (or so i think) I do get constipated sometimes well alot… but idk.. My thought is that i have irritable bowel syndrom wich is good because i wont need to go to the doctor however idk and reading up on the matter isnt helping much… i was trying to see if where it was hurting was the lower abdomen or actually in the rectal area.. because the pain started on my very right side right around were my belly button should be lined up at and under… Idk what to do we dont have money for a false alarm soo i really need a second opinion sooo what do you guys think it is… Oh and sometimes i feel a bit nutritious…
well first to answer gets the 10 but i went to the hospital and they first thought it was appendicitis it turned out to be a scythe and the tired and nausia part came from the fact that im anemic sooo yeah thanxx anyway everyone…
it was a cist haha sorry i spelled it wrong but yeah thanxx for replying dude…

While this is an issue I hate to talk about, I am willing to try anything to get help with this. Starting back in November I’ve been having almost constant pain and discomfort in the rectal area. I have no insurance but I was able to get a colonoscopy which revealed polyps and an internal hemorrhoid. I know surgery is an option but I know things won’t be the same if I get that done. Any real tips would be helpful. I have a great sense of humor but this is serious so please spare the sarcasm.

ii gave birth 3 weeks ago still dealling with s\constipation and have this hemrhoid which hurts every time i have bowwl movement. i mean doctor said take milk of magnesia. did anyone had this experience and how did u deal with it.i am in serious pain. i am on medi cal for pregnancy only. it hurts so much for so many hours in my rectal area and i have this little piece hanging out. i mean is surgery my only option ( i can’t afford it right now). any advice

have been seeing and endocronologist for several months trying to get to the bottom of some sever issues that have been going on.
Between 15 and 16 i gained over 100 pounds and have since continued to gain weight. I also have had elivated cortisol, and testostrone levels, Irregular menstral cycles, and a number of various of problems.
Recently they also discovered a mass on my adernal gland, and diagnosed me with "pre-diabetes"
My endocronolgist has chalked this all up to having PCOS.

Previously a doctor first diagnosed me with endometriosis, then also said i had PCOS.

For about the last 3 months i have been having a new arrary of symptoms that did not go along with the PCOS also.
It started with me having pain in my hip joint, then proceeded to overall pelvic pain.
This further mutated into cronic pelvic, lower back and leg pain.
Which gets nearly unbearable with my menstral cycles.
Although they have always been irregualar, lately they have also become worse than ever.
I will have 2 week long periods that are litterally like turning on a sink from the moment they hit till the moment they stop, and then will come back only 2 weeks after i have stopped. (sorry to be so graphic)
The final problem is that i have been having endless cycles of constipation and diareah accompanied by sharp pains in my rectal area. Also when i cough, sneeze, or even move sometimes, i feel a sharp tug on my pelvic region (behind/below my uterus i think), or in my lower back

Is it possible these could be endometriosis? can you have both PCOS and endometriosis together? Could the PCOS be causing these problems?

Does anyone have any suggestions about what is going on with my body?

I do plan to address these problems with my doctor, but i am currently at school 4 hours from home.

My 3 year old has been having bright red blood whenever he has a bowel movement. He also complains of abdominal pain only just before and during a bowel movement. He goes everyday and the stools are not hard or dry like he’s constipated. There’s also no sign of any injury, etc. to his rectal area. I’ve scheduled him a doctor’s appt., but just wondering if anyone else’s child has experienced this and what their diagnosis was. Thanks for the input!

I’ve been having strong B.H contractions and period like pains in my abdomen and achy back.
Its painful but mild.
Now, whenever this happens, my vaginal and rectal areas hurt.
The rectal area hurts like I have to go to the bathroom.
Vaginal area hurts like its sore.

I leaked "something" this morning and my doctor tested it. She says it wasn’t amnionic fluid or urine. She thinks I’m in early labor and I’m 2cm dilated.
She thinks the clear/pale pink fluid could be my mucus plug etc.

Either way, I am at home right now and I’m experiencing these pains.

Have you ever had rectal and vaginal pain during these early labor contractions?

Ok,I don’t mean to be graphic but here goes……the past few days when I have a bowel movement it hurts a little,then there is a dull achey pain in my rectal area for hours. No blood. I also feel a little bloated and very "gassy"…..my stomach is "grumbling" all the time. Does anyone have any advice? It’s kind of scaring me…….like I said,there is no blood,just pain and a lot of gas? Thank you.

I am getting pains in my rectal area which can radiate to my testicles and penis. It usually occurs about 30 minutes after a bowel movement and can last anything from 30 minutes to many hours.
I am awaiting an endoscopy as I was having discomfort in my oesaphagus, and I’ve been taking Zoton 30mg for the last few months which, stops that discomfort, so long as I keep taking it. I believe I have acid reflux but there is the small possibility of an ulcer too.
The rectal pain, feels like it’s in my colon/rectum/anus area mainly. It’s quite a burn like pain. Very hot feeling. I’ve been thinking it may be a fissure or hemmoroids? Anyone have any ideas? 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?

I am 20 year old male and sometimes when i get the urge of getting a bowel movement, I sometimes get a sort of spasm like sensation coming from my rectal area…its not exactly a pain, but its a sensation that feels like its sucking in and like a needle prick like at the same time from within…the spasm lasts only like 3 seconds and once i defecate everything is fine.. Is this cause of concern or Is this just normal nerve response from the urge to defecate ?

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.

Sporadically pain shots to my rectal area with feelings close to cramping. I am 7 months pregnant…………..has anyone else felt this dicomfort?

I have been having pain around my rectal area for the past few days. At first I thought that it might be hemorrhoids that I caught early, as there was nothing protruding from the rectum. So I bought hemorrhoidal suppositories and external creme and have been using it. This morning I felt a lot better, but then as the day went on and I went to work and stood for a long period of time the pain worsened. It feels more like my anal cavity is bruised. I am not sure if it is hemorrhoids, or if it could be something else. I’m sorry if I have given too much information, I don’t want to gross anyone out.
I really appreciate all of your help. I have not had any bleeding. However, doesn’t a rectal exam hurt?

Why do I get rectal pain during my period? Sometimes it is very sharp and stabbing like a sharp knife trying to come out of my rectal area, and other times is is just a whole, whole massive amount of dull presure on my rectal area. My doctor has scheduled a colonoscopy in October, but it is a couple weeks away and I am very very nervous, any ideas what it could be?
p.s. I also have a lot of pain with intercourse, my husband is very patient but we have been unable to figure out what is causing the pain.

I feel really really bad pain in my rectal area and it radiates till anus during menstrual period. It has been there since 8 years. I dont know what to do with this because 5 years back I fainted because of that intense pain. It is not continuous. It occurs 5-8 times in a day, more during 1st 3days and diminishes on 4th day of menses. I am scared if it is related to some rectal or colonic pathology?

I hurt my back acouple of months ago, the back pain is better but I am having pain in the rectal area, constipation,and it feels a little swollen. Could this be associated with me hurting my back?
