Rectal Prolapse?
Posted , 3 users are following.
Anyone experience this?
I am unsure of what I am feeling.
Was diagnosed by Naturopath as having ibs-c. Constipation under control after almost 5 months. No more ab discomfort. Huge diet change. Also had rectal pressure for awhile but that is steadily getting milder and milder. Some days none at all. But now for the past 4 days I have a feeling of something sliding up and down in my rectum. There is no bleeding.
I thought it was a hemorrhoid and tried a glycerin suppository which helped. But the next day it was back. Tried a hemorrhoid suppository and it hurt really bad and made the problem worse so I stopped.
I do not feel this issue until later in the day. There is nothing sticking out of my rectum!
Has anyone experienced this?
I am making an appointment with the doctor but I am very scared.

Have you tried an ice cube every day? This will shrink the haemorrhoid if you have one. I would try the glycerin suppository every day for a week if it helped. But don't worry. Your doctor will do a simple examination to see what is going on. You could have an internal haemorrhoid; external ones tend to stick out. Since you have had constipation, a haemorrhoid is a possibility. Try not to think the worst.

Thank you for talking to me. I had a bit of rectal pressure so tried a glycerine suppository. The pressure went away but I have been left with the feeling of something still up there. I know it is not bm. It feels like it moves in and out. When I have a bm it feels like it moves out as the bm is ending, then goes back in. I tried another night of suppository use and it hurt and would not stop until I expelled the suppository. I am really worried about what the doctor will find. )))-:
Was hoping someone else on here might be feeling this.

So I the only appointment I could get is still over a week away and the soreness got so bad, my husband had to take me to the hospital last night.
The exam showed some redness inside but no hemorrhoids or fissures. I have a prescription for pain and suppositories for inflammation that I have to fill today. They applied a lidocaine gel so I could at least sleep last night.
I looked up rectal inflammation and it came up as 'proctitis'.
None of the 'causes' apply except maybe bacterial infection but I have no idea how I would have gotten that. I may have to start a new thread because clearly I don't have rectal prolapse...
I still have to wait and see my doctor next week to do more.
if you have heard of this kind of inflammation please let me know.
