Rectum Hurts After Bowel Movement
Rectum Hurts after Bowel Movement
If your rectum hurts after a bowel movement, it means one of four things:
- you just launched an anus-stretching, rectum-thrashing, colon-tearing gigantic, epic turd
- those hot peppers you ate last night are finally catching up with you
- your butt hole already hurt before you took the crap
- there may be something wrong with your anus
Cause of a Painful Rectum after a Bowel Movement
If your butt hole hurts after dropping a load into a toilet bowl and you’re wondering why, it is important to study what came out of you. If the log in the bowl is huge, hard, or laden with spicy food, you know why your butt hurts. In case of these causes, waiting a few hours or a couple of days should be enough to ease the pain.
In the event that there is something else wrong with your colon, a combination of viral, bacterial, fungal, or lesion-based irritation may be the cause of the painful rectum.
Cure for a Painful Rectum after a Bowel Movement
Depending on the cause, the best cure for a painful rectum may be time. If pain persists for many days or longer, it is important to consult with a medical professional. It may be awkward to bring up with a stranger or your family doctor, but it sure beats the alternatives like major surgery (if you let a minor issue go out of control) or an untreated condition (that could be cured easily) that causes pain for many weeks or months.
