bowel infection?

[sundawn]

Recently, I developed what I know is a thrombosed external hemorrhoid. At the same time of its appearance, I was having quite severe stomach pains and had not much of an appetite. This all has been going on for nearly two weeks now. Could this be a result of some sort of bowel infection?
I also have "severe" dismotility of the esophagus so my digestive processes from top to bottom are not in sync. Can this esophageal problem leading to slow digestion over a period of decades lead to lower digestive problems such as what is going on now?
I am disabled and have no insurance thus I have no pcp to see until the middle of August. Does it sound like this is something that can wait?
I do eat fiber but I have been sitting more lately due to the gasoline prices (not going anywhere). I am not sedentary, however. I had already been drinking water and taking ducosate sodium caplets.

If dismotility is in the esophagus, it may also be in other parts of bowe, especially in stomach, and yes, it may result in constipation. Strain, when you're constipated results in hemorrhoids and these are now trobosed, you say.

You need esophageal manometry tests, maybe gastric emptying test, and hemorrhoids should be operated - it's a quite simple outpatient procedure.

I thank you for your reply.
When I see a pcp in a month, I will show this reply to him. He will also have copies of my other manometry and emptying tests from years ago.
When I do barium tests, they always tell me that my body takes much longer than normal to rid itself of all the barium.

Trombosed hemorrhoids themselves may cause constipation, if you are avoiding bowel movements from fear of pain. Anyway, you should solve this.
