pain between scrotum and rectum

around 25 days ago i was constipated and when to the toilet i experienced so much pain in my rectum and i felt like something was cut from the inside and i kept having this paint or burning sensation. it was late and i couldnt go to the doctor, so i found a pharmacy near my home, i was given some laxative and a cream called procto-glyvenol. the cream helped a lot, i used it twice a day for 3 days and i've been able to have a bowel movement with no issue since that time.

my problem is that i can only site for a couple of minutes till i start feeling this slight pain between my scrotum and rectum. i also get a weird feeling or discomfort (not pain) in my lower back if sit. In 6 days i will be travelling and the flight duration is 8 hours, am i having something serious and how can i treat it.

thank you

Your perineum (region between anus and genitals) could have taken strain during your period of constipation and when trying to make a bowel movement you have strained this muscle in the process.  Therefore, it is possible that you are feeling bruised and tender in that region and difficulty to sit for long amount of time.  Unfortunately, like any muscle it will take time to heal itself.

Lower back ache, I am uncertain of.

Best of luck.  Keep eating fruit and veg,

it sounds like you may have an internal tear in your anus, no doubt left from the constipation , my husband has  what they call a fisher ? which is a cut in the anus, and as the back end is being used regularly it is constantly opened and doesnt get much of a chance to heal.He experiences pain in his urinary tract aswell and similar symptoms.The doctor can check this out for you.it will heal in a few weeks but unfortunately can easily come open again.It is not forced to bleed. The doctors can prescribe a cream for the discomfort which stops any bleeding  should it occur, however the husband says to use pea sized amount only as it is absorbed straight into the blood stream and too much makes you feel really ill very suddenly .Try to keep your fluids up and maintain regular bowel movements. Keep yourself loose to enable your body a better chance of healing and lessen the chance of catching it again.Good luck x
