I am having pain after i poop. I dont see any lump or nodes outside. I dont feel any and i checked myself. Does the hemorrhoids grow inside the rectum? If so how do i find it? 

These are my symptons, I have horrible pain after pooping. Like literally after pooping i feel like i have to poop again and when i do, the pain gets real worse. I am gasy and farting is making it worse. 

I really dont want to visit any docs cos honestly i dont have insurance! 

Thanks

    You really need to see a dr to see what is going on. Hope you feel better soon.

    This sounds like an anal fissure. It will be eased by taking a regular stool softener before sleep and drinking plenty of water. The first thing a doctor will do is prescribe rectogesic which relaxes muscle; eases pain and promotes healing.

    Good luck.

    Here are some suggestions I have for you to help you through:

    1. Try somee zinc oxide in the form of calmoseptine which has menthol to soothe the area down there as well. Calmoseptine can be bought at almost any local drugstore and can be bought online too.

    2. Try squatting when going on the toilet instead of sitting. This is a much  helathier position and the poop sometimes will just slide out,  no pushing or straining involved.

    3. I would definately take a fiber supplement, specifically metamucil  is what I take evveryday,  in ordr to allow your stools to be soft and to allow them to pass thorugh easily. THis being said, with any fiber supplemetn, you must drink lots of water when using them, or they will not work veffectively. Also, do not take too much as too much fiber can irritate your bowels on the way  out and diarreah actually does worse down there.

    4. I would recommend getting a sphicteronomy surgery if htings dont get better. I waited it out, gave up, had the surgery, and was able to heal within about two weeks. I had a chronic fissure, so I knew where you are ocming from with v all the pain and discomfort.

    Try listening to music to distract your mind a bit, especially when going to the bathroom. If you are in writing pain, distract yourself with a movie or TV show right after. Also, to prevent myself from screaming and from putting more stress in the area down  there, i bit down on a washcloth in order to make the tensions with my teeth instead of my sphicter muscle.

    Hope this helps!!!

    Best,

    Myles
