Waiting results but started on trimovate.not helping yet altho i have some free days from soreness.

I use dermol and a sitz bath and get great relief from that.Can i use an emollient cream like sudacrem at same time as trimovate.

Ihave a leaky bowel sometimes and wonder if that aggravates it.I am 73 and it only started about 3 months ago.I also had an urethal dilation 6 weeks ago.really fed up.waiting for results on 1st of Aug.

    Hi, if you can get hold of some psyllium powder/capsules they work a treat in bulking up the stool.  I have IBD so I know it works.

    Birdie- I think anything tha “ leaks “ can be very irritating. Try putting a moisture barrier ointment on it. I use soothe and cool from Medline with Vit A, D, E- bought on Amazon. 

    I thought I had urinary incontinence because ai was always irritated and little squirts. Thought I had UTI, always felt weird- turns out it was a LS coming on and was clit next to ureter, not ureter. Since LS diagnosis and paying clise attention to bathroom trips I hv had no incontinence, nonirritation and no pain in that area. 

    Good luck to you!
