General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Read the history and understood the problem your boyfriend has.
This type of pain is seen in young patients having a few problems like:
Proctalgia, meaning pain in the rectum. This is seen when the patient has inflammation.
Proctocolitis
Occasional cases of Prostatitis.
The bowel movement s reliving the pain albeit incompletely.
I would suggest the following in such a patient:
Opinion and colonoscopy and biopsy by a Gastroenterology.
Per-rectal examination, ultrasonography of the prostate and whole abdomen.
Stool, urine and blood tests.
The treatment will depend upon the findings of the Specialist and may be needed for a long time.
I find this answer helpful
