General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of constant irritation and pain in the rectum and also brown on toilet paper on wiping. You thought of pin-worms and hence took medicines, eating pumpkin seeds, yogurt and drinking coffee. No pin worms were seen and no relief too.
To clear your doubts:
Pin worms cause itching and pain on the peri-anal skin and only at night, never in a day, hence this is not a pin worm infestation.
The most probable cause can be procto-colitis.
This can be diagnosed by the following:
Stool tests for three consecutive days.
Ano-proctoscopy by a General Surgeon followed by colonoscopy.
Ultrasonography of the whole abdomen including for the Uterus.
This will give the proper diagnosis and a plan for proper treatment.
Make a list of the foods and beverages that cause the problem and stop consuming these.
I find this answer helpful
