anal burning = anal stricture! Ouch!

SallyJPouchMember

Last night the ER said for me to see a G.I. (my local hospital here is real real small) because I have an anal stricture. That is what has been causing this terrible pain in the rear every time I go (watery = 18 to 20 times the last few days). It hurts like heck.

Has anyone had anal stricture or stenosis corrected, and what does that entail (other than more pain). Does it lead to incontinence or ?

I have to drive three hours today to meet with the SSI/SDI atty handling my case, which is being heard tomorrow. Thus, I must leave here within two and a half hours.

If you have any input for me, please let me know ASAP.

Thanks and take care of your bums!

It is usually handled by an in office or under sedation/anesthesia dilation. It can be done with a finger (if not too bad) or balloon dilation. Sometimes repeat dilations are needed, or home dilations to maintain the opening. Only very stubborn cases require surgical repair.

Google hegar dilators. Have your doc tell you the width that he wants your stricture stretched and order the appropriate size.

PM me if you want-I sent a fellow jpoucher the steps I took.

Strictures were the bane of my life for a while post- take down. But it has been a several months since I have had one. They can come and go when they want.
