Bloating, Anal burning and loose stools

by Rexor, Jul 23, 2001 12:00AM
I have been for the past three months afflicted with what appears to be a digestive problem. After a bowel movement I have a burning in the anal area that is at times severe which restricts me from several activities. I am not gay, am happily married. Along with the above mentioned bloating seems to be a condition that goes along with it. I am cleaning myself several times after any movement and on ocassion have found blood on the tissue. It would be a pleasure to get some insight into this problem. Any suggestions? Thanks

I am in the same boat almost exactly.  I have been diagnosed with Hep C 3 years ago and I am on my 2nd attempt at the year long treatment process.  I have so many different side effects from the medications and/or symptons of the virus and liver disease that it has caused.  But the symtoms you have described are ones that concern me right now and I had my prostate checked this AM.  Dr said that there was some hemmroidal activity but nothing major.  When the pain is intense it is horrible!  Also have a PSA bllod test and an ultrasound scheduled next week.
