Q: Anal pain

Okay, this is embarrasing but I do not know what to do so I'm resorting to online - I hope you all can help me. Anyways I traveled to India over January... I was there two weeks. The last week I was there I devoloped a rash on my buttocks near the anus and had a lot of anal pain in fact there were a couple specks of blood on the tiolet paper a few times after using the restroom and I and my anus was puffy and red. The rash itched like crazy and was extremely uncomfortable so I went to the doctor unfortunately by the time of the appt the red puffy part had cleared up and the doctor was only able to view the rash and diagnose it as yeast. She prescribed me with diflucan and the rash went away. However, the pain in my anus and the small specks of blood came back - I bought prep H because I thought maybe it was a hemmoroid it worked for while but I ran out and now have tucks witch hazel wipes I use almost every time I go to the restroom but the pain is still there and they only provide temporary relief. When it is really painful I try to get a look at it and it only in one spot. It's like a small cut that is raised up a bit. It is very painful... also I'm not sure if this is helpful but I've noticed my vaginal discharge is a clear and whitish.... Sorry to be so graphic I'm not sure if that has anything to do with this. I want to go back to the doctor but I'm beyond embarrassed... the last time I went she asked lots of embarrassing questions and now I feel like it was for nothing. I've been suffering with this since january.... I feel like I can't tell anyone of my situation because of fear of them being disgusted or laughing at me. Please help!

I think it is a yeast infection. Go to a natural food store and buy probiotics. They come in capsules. Take 2 3 times a day. This may take awhile but it will work. It will restore the natural bacteria in the colon and eliminate the yeast overgrowth. You need to be faithful with and it will work. Call your doctor and ask for nystatin ointment. Use this topically on the skin around the anus and where the rash is. The ointment will act as a barrier against moisture and the nystatin will fight the yeast. I have used this on my children when they had yeast infections and it is very effective. I hope this is helpful. Let me know if there are other questions.

Does it hurt when you poop? You could have developed anal fissures while you were over there, and they could have gotten infected... that's just a far fetch though.

I was in India for six weeks last summer, and I know how careful I had to be when I showered/brushed my teeth/washed my face etc. You could have developed a staphylococcus infection or, as antigone said, a yeast infection. There are many travel doctors that specialize in illnesses commonly contracted while traveling (You probably saw one to get medication for malaria or various immunizations).
