Hi all.
Just had my last surgery last week and am now using my pouch. Ive been on solid food for about 4 days and every time I go to the toilet I get a really painful stinging sensation (like Im pooping out little razor blades). Is this what 'butt burning' is? Forgive my ignorance, Im new to the site.
I use sudocreme straight after I finish but doesn't stop the stinging next time I have to go. Is it to do with the acidity of the stool, coming straight from the small intestine, or because the anal area hasn't had any stool on it for over a year? Does anyone have any other advice?
Throughout the day, when I get little urges to go to the toilet, I just hold it back or else Im going so often just to get a small amount out. It is quite painful when I do get these urges (sought of feels like the pouch is stretching)but goes away after about 10-15 seconds. Just curious if this is normal as well or if I should be worried?
If you've read through this whole thing thankyou as any advice would be appreciated. Nick
