intestinal problems

[crazymom55]

Please help.  I am having trouble sitting.  Could you please suggest something.  Pressure in rectum or anus.  How do you know if you have rectal prolapse?  How about a hernia?

i feel pressure at the anus.  I had a rectocele repaired.  I was told i had an internal hemmorroid but that was not causing my problem.  I am using hemroidal cream to see if it helps just in case i can shrink it and to help after the doc looked in there.

I used to get gas build up there and when i passed gas it went away.  Now it is there all the time.

Does anyone recommend using ice or heat in the anus area???

Crazymom, have you been to see your doc yet, and if so, what have they suggested or found? Pressure in the rectum or anus could be caused by a number of different things and each might require a different treatment so it would be very hard to generalize to try to give you some suggestions.
