Hi,
Thanks for the query.
From your description, the most likely possibility is that the pain is due to rectal / anal problem. Either a fissure in ani or hemorrhoids could be the cause.
- XXXXXXX warm sitz bath is an effective anti-inflammatory treatment is very helpful in these conditions. I suggest you to try the sitz bath twice or thrice a day for 2-3 days and see if they help.
- In addition topical analgesics (xylocaine gels) – to be applied locally and oral anti-inflammatory drugs like motrin 200mg twice a day after food for 3-5 days will help you recover soon.
- It is important that you avoid straining while passing stools. So rest adequately, drink plenty of water, consume plenty of fibres in your diet and take laxatives for 2-3 weeks.
The second consideration is that it might be related to some lower spine / swelling or inflammation of the connective tissue. Though this seems less likely, I encourage you to consult your doctors for a detailed physical examination, if the aforementioned measures fail to improve your condition. You will need some tests and digital rectal examination.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have no further follow ups please accept my answer.
Regards
