Q: Rectal Pain For 3-4 Weeks Now Is Scaring Me Ot Death

I'll be blunt:


Recently I slept with someone approximately two months ago (and used a condom) who has colitis (I don't know what kind she has, but now I understand that C. Difficile colitis is contagious, supposedly.) She told me that what she has is not contagious.. i don't know what she knows, if it is any good or truth at this point.

I am very concerned that I somehow caught this disease from her. And if it is not that, then there is definitely something else and i need to get it checked out ASAP.

I am scared that i have let this go so long!! 3-4 weeks at least now of intermittant pain.

Not much i can say, it just feels like my rectum is swollen and very sore. It must be an infection or something much worse, like I am sitting right on top of an intrusive object all of the time. Weeks before the pain reappeared consistently, there was one night i could not sleep because I had a sharp pain in my bowels.. it was a little different feeling and higher up into my bowels, but much stronger pain.

From what i understand, and also since i am only 32, having rectal/anal pain would not likely be the result of a cancer.

This seems to be getting worse, and i need to see a doctor ASAP. Can someone please share their thoughts with me on this? Even if you can tell me what kind of doctor i might need to see...

Go see your doctor first. That is the most important step. My suggestion would be that you also seek out a naturopath - it is only my opinion as I believe there are natural ways to help a system obtain overall health.
Listen to your body and seek medical advice first and foremost. Then start getting your body on the healthy track. A great start would also include a cleansing program - I personally use the colonix program by drnatura. It has helped me get my health back.
I know it has helped millions of other people as well. This is something you might consider after you have received your diagnosis from the doctor first and resolved the symptoms you are currently experiencing.
Keep us posted on your progress - Go to your doctor.
