Hi. I'm male, 35, married/straight. For a few months I've had unusual pressure in the rectum. Early in proceedings I felt what I assumed was a hemorrhoid half in half out, it felt like the lead of a pencil about 1cm long. That went away but the pressure remained and got worse. This developed into referred pain in the buttocks (particularly right), lower back and right leg.
Unsure if directly related but I also suffered extreme coccyx pain for around a week, during which time orgasm caused an uncomfortable sensation in my rectum area, this seems to have subsided now. I have suffered constipation previously, so the thought occured that it may be a piece of stuck stool, but I suspect internal hem's. I have just taken some photo's after a long bath, and my anus appears (to me) to be very purple! (camera flash may have made it worse).
So I'm basically asking for opinions if this looks normal or something I need to be concerned about. For the record, I have refrained from going to the GP until absolutely sure I need to because I'm terrified of the glove!
Many thanks...
