I am having about the same problem. Rectal pressure, pain and dificult to move my bowels. The rectal surgery doc send me home after tell me I have constipation. I went to see another doc and he told me I have INTERNAL RECTAL INTUSSUSCEPTION and that not to many doc know about that abnormality. I having this problem for about 3 months and that is driving me knots. Look at the net for info. Good luck.
I am a 46 year old female and I am experiencing the same symptoms - rectal pressure - not too bad, stomach aches every other day and intermittent pain in my upper right side. I had diarrhea last week and now my stool is thin (not quite pencil thin), but is brown, not black and I have not seen any blood. I'm going to see my GI doctor this Friday and I'm sure he's going to recommend a colonoscopy. I'm not afraid of the test - just the diagnosis. I'm terrified that it is colon cancer - late stage - because I am having symptoms. I have read that early stages have no pain or symptoms. Can't even think about anything else. The nurse at the GI's office told me that since I was under 50 and there was no bloody or black stool that I should be okay. Can anybody help me feel better?
I am 69 years old and there is no history of colon cancer in my family that I know of. I have not noticed any red tinge in my stools.
hi, this is one sign of colon cancer but there are other less serious disorders which have this symptom too. anal fissure, benign polyps, diverticulosis, and herrmoroids, colon cancer is rare under 50 years of age, also if this is the only symptom your having then hopefully you should be ok, how old are you and do you notice any red tinge in your stools?
