I am a male in my middle 20's who has never experienced similar situations before this.

This has started since the start of lock-down. I have noticed a infrequent pain in my lower back and bum spasms every now and again. I have been extremely constipated and noticed white cloudy bits in my stool. I first believed it to be worms and took the necessary mediations for that.

My stool has been very small and have very difficult to produce. My stomach also feels very bloated and makes weird sounds frequently. I have also noticed that it is difficult to get fully erect and when i try i get a pain in the anus almost.

What should i do? Is this IBS?

I have never experienced this before, but feel if it is IBS that it could have been brought on by stress or hpv possibly. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated as this is affecting me greatly.

    These symptoms are similar to mine when I first suffered IBS. In those day 40 years ago there was no such thing as enteric peppermint oil capsules, but now every pharmacist stocks them, because they relax the colon to help it work properly! You probably saw mucus in your stool which is one way your gut is trying to protect itself from the stress of impacted faeces! I would suggest using Aloe vera juice as a soothing agent which also has a laxative effect to help you return to normal bowel movements! Best Wishes!

    😃 a smiley face because wow someone in exactly the same predicament as myself. the bum spasms i thought i was alone in the world with this i did explain it to a chemist assistant and she acted like she never heard of it. maybe its not bum spasms but elsewhere spasms being felt in the bum. ive thought works as same seen white bits but had worms once before when younger from using public toilet for a dump either caught from the seat or didnt wash hands but when they popped out they wriggled plus could see them in my hole. didnt take any tab did buy but didnt take.

    bloating yes i couldnt work out was it just fat but i looked massive and felt dead heavy in my stomach. id changed diet a bit and was non stop on the toilet all day everyday different variety of poops. stomach noises same calmed now. still feeling spasms they are bowel associated but if im being honest anxiety is playing a big part and im not anxious person. it affects your bowels massivly. as type now im bum spasms and gassy . i did say to the chemist i think i have ibs and what was recommended for spasms and she mentioned meds called Colafac. i havent tried yet as still trying to wiork out is it my mind as the bast is one hell of a powerful thing. i read online that if you trick your mind into telling you something is happening in your body even though its not the mind will have you believe it is

    im giving up a bit and im going to try that med i mentioned good luck
