What Causes Pain During Bowel Movement?

I already have a scope scheduled with my GI for the 28th, however after pooping I get a severe pain in the anus, it started a few days ago after straining some when pooping. The pain seems to go on forever and sitting is a impossible. Abit of history, I just has an anal fistula repaired over 6 weeks ago. I went to the surgeon and he did a visual and could not see anything (was not experiencing pain at time of visit) But after I pooped again withoput straning and theg help of laxitives it still hurts like like hell.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

I understand your concern.

Pain you feel after pooping in your anal area could be due to :
- torn fistula, let the surgeon check it again
- hemorrhoids or laceration of anal mucosa especially if you are passing hard stool and have been constipated recently.
I highly recommend to avoid constipation:
- increase fluids intake
- take fiber rich foods; fiber supplements can help
- take gentle laxatives and stool softeners
- go to toilet when you feel the need, do not delay
- try not to strain too hard or longer to avoid laceration of anal mucosa

Hope this helps.
