Discomfort And Pain In Lower Abdomen. Unable To Pass Stool And Intense Pain In Rectum. What Could It Be?
Today marks day number 4 with discomfort and pain in my lower abdomen. I thought i was just super gassy, until the discomfort didn't subside. I began feeling sharp twisting pains every so often when i laid down and stood up or on my feet for more than 20 min. After 3 days, I can stand/walk with little to no pain, and the overall discomfort or my abdomen has decreased a great deal, BUT for the past 2 days I have been experiencing sudden 30 seconds of intense/sharp surges of pain in my lower abdomen and lower rectum. In the past 2 days i have had about 15-20 of them. I also cannot poop, it hurts too much, especially if I try a bit hard to get it out. Farting even hurts. Even when I finally do release it I only feel a little bit of relief which is immediately followed by more pain and cramping. I don't have a fever, I'm not vomiting nor am i nauseous, and I have no vaginal or anal bleeding.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
I would come up with these possibilities for this type of acute pain in the rectum from 4 days , these includes.
1 Fissure in anus , diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination by a surgeon . Fissure usually develops excruciating pain.
2 Hemorrhoids , diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination by a physician and get his opinion.
3 Tumor in the large intestine ( rectum ) . Diagnosis can be confirmed by colonoscopy.
In my opinion consult a surgeon and get his opinion regarding this acute pain.
Good luck. Dr. HET
