deep rectal pain after bowel movement Posted: 04-02-08 16:48pm
For several months now, I've been noticing
a sharp pain deep in my rectal area after
bowel movements. It almost feels as if it
has been jabbed by a knife. I'm not sure
if its a big deal or not because there is
no blood and I can only feel the pain when
I'm wiping.
And my bowel movements seem healthy.
They're a normal consistency, never
bloody, nor do I notice any other
problems.
Last night, I tried to check my rectal
opening in the mirror but, I couldn't see
deep enough to pinpoint where the pain was
coming from. So, in the shower I poked
around with my finger until I found the
pain. And sure enough I felt the same
stinging sensation.
Do you think this could be linked to
something serious? The irritation always
seems to be there. I just have to touch
the specific area to actually feel it.
(Hard to explain) Is it necessary for me
to schedule a doctors visit?
Thanks for any help!
