What Causes Severe Pain In The Rectal Area?

Hello, About 3 months ago, I began having pain in my pancreatic region (I had pancreatitis while pregnant, so I know the pain). I thought it was probably the fatty foods I was eating and ignored it. It got better about a month ago. However, when it got better, a severe pain in my rectal area began. I called my doctor, but they can t see until a month from now. I have a Gyn appointment next week, but I m sure they ll tell me to see my primary care. Should I do something more drastic like go to an ER?

Hi, I think the pain in rectal area can be due anal fissure. It generally occurs due to constipation. Take some stool softeners. Drink a glass of milk at night. Consult a surgeon.
