Can hemmrhoids lead to constipation rather than the reverse? I called and talked to the E.R. and they said that it could. If so, what are ways to reduce this? When I try to poo, the outer sphincter ( one we wipe ) protrudes out and i can't believe I am saying this but only a small amount of poo is coming out of the anus itself in a small localized area.
I used a hemmrhoidial supposetory and hopefully this will help. I was once put on Protofoam can that be bought over the counter?>

They did a ct scan of my abdomen and everything came back good and clean. Said there were no obstructions nor any sign of diverticulitis or chrones and no sign of possible constipation. Rigbht now it feels like my stomach has been filled with helium as if it were a balloon. There is a gurgle feeling ( to where others can hear ) in the lower right side of my stomach almost near the pubic area directly to the right. Constant belching and gurgling in stomach like it is empty.
Right now, I have used the bathroom twice after feeling of flatulence and it was diarrhea with loose stool ( i guess that is what it is ) that sank to the bottom of the toilet bowl. My right side just above my waist line feels like it is spasming and when I lean back it feels like my lower stomach is spasming.
I don;t have any insurance to see a gastro and i called the local one about 15 mins away and they are booking for October and it's 150 dollars a visit. I was thinking of going to the after hour clinics 15 mins away tomorrow and seeing if they can do anything for me.
Right now I just feel so weak/exausted and tired/ Restless and fidgety and it's like I have become insomniatic. Someone told me I should get checked for worms or parasites. I bought Reese's Pinworm OTC solution you take for pinworms and am just afraid to give it a shot.
I just want to know what is going on and how it can be treated. I have researched everything and it seems like it could be a long list of things and I read upon H. Pylori and Candida Overgrowth.
I had a steroid shot a week or so ago, could that set up candida overgrowth?
I feel like I am not getting any nutrients. I ate chicken noodle soup, the broth from it felt good and warm on my stomach. But when I had a runny movement ( No blood as of late, took a hemmrhoid suppository ) I eat, feel full and then feel like I am hungry again in 1.5 - 3 hours after eating the first time.
I took a shower and it seemed to help me move my bowels or whatvever and when I defecate ( although watery ) it relieves pressure and gas for like 10 minutes and then its back.
Please help. I am going crazy and I am driving others nuts with my worrying. I am so scared it;s something serious. I constantly research and when I run across something I do not like, it tears me up and i get even more scared and anxious/nervous/.
As for the lightheadedness, I had been out mowing the lawn in heat. I came in, took a hot shower and then sat in front of a fan to cool off, could this cause a pinched nerve? Cause it felt like a buzz on my right side above my hear but not on top of skull more close to ear.
Thanks for your time. Please reply asap.
Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Along with labrynthitis you probably have two problems. One is a pinched cervical spinal nerve and the other is probably an inflammatory bowel condition such as Celiac Disease/Ulcerative Colitis/Irritable Bowel Syndrome/ Crohn’s disease. All these result in tender abdomen, loose stool or loose stools alternating with constipation, abdominal distention, cramps etc. Maybe that’s the reason there is blood in your stool constantly and the dizziness could be due to associated anemia. Shortness of breath and fast heart rate could be due to anemia. I would strongly recommend you to see a gastroenterologist (a specialist who looks after the diseases of our digestive system). You may need endoscopy or colonoscopy (this more likely). For pinched nerve you will need to consult a neurologist. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
