What Causes Pressure Sensation In The Rectal-anal Area?
I am experiencing pressure in my rectal-anal area and have had some discharges. I think I have suffered from chronic constipation for years. My doctor has prescribed increasing my fiber intake, but it hasn t helped. I am now seeing a physical therapist who has given me exercises to do. Is it possible that I have anal cancer?
