Are you living with rectal pain? Are bowel movements painful? If so, we at Surgical Associates, PC are here to help! Rectal pain can be caused by many different conditions, each of which require their own unique treatments. Many of these conditions do not require surgery for treatment. The sooner you are evaluated and begin treatment, the sooner you can work towards pain relief. Several conditions that can cause rectal pain include:
- Perianal Abscess
- Anal Fistula
- Hemorrhoids
- Anal Fissures
- Proctitis
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Sexually transmitted infections
- Skin Irritation (pruritis ani)
- Pelvic muscle spasm
- Anal cancer
It is important that you are evaluated for rectal pain to ensure you are treated correctly. Some of the treatments we recommended are prescription creams, sitz baths, bowel regimens, and occasionally surgery. We understand it is not easy to speak about these issues, but we are here to make the experience as comfortable as possible to get you feeling better! We look forward to helping you!
