Experiencing Severe Pain In The Rectal Area
Hi my husband is an heavy equipment operator and gets bounced around in his rig for 10 hrs a day. He called me saying that he is having severe pain in the rectal area while being bounced around on his rig as well as when he coughs and he send when bending over as well. He said he has hemorrhoids before and he usually can tell if he is getting one but he said it doesn t feel like that. Any ideas on what could be causing this??

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Hemorrhoids can cause pain and discomfort around the rectal and peri-anal region. As of now he can take laxatives to smoothen his bowel movements and avoid straining for stools. It is better to go for a colonoscopy to assess the extent of the problem and to rule out other causes like anal fissure and polyps in the rectum and large bowel. If symptoms persist, better to go for surgery. Consult a general surgeon and he will direct you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Shinas Hussain
