The pain is not on any particular part,but whole abdomen area and there is pressure on the anus part. some times I feel to go to toilet. It is a dull aching and it is there for the last one year. No urinary problem, but there is a buring sensation from the throat to abdomen. Overall, after food, feel uneasiness.
