How can I manage constipation and anal discomfort?

Patient's Query

I was wondering what to do about my medical situation: I’ve been experiencing few weeks: -Anal discomfort from constipation -bowel leakage - anal itchiness for a due to Background: I had a loop colostomy put in the descending colon but what it seems To me is that some stool bypassed the colostomy and got to the area in the rectum that is damaged, and so its just staying inside the rectum, I can’t seem to have a bowel movement because of the damage in that area and I can’t seem to get it out. because of having the colostomy, I know there isn’t a serious problem like a blockage. but I’m feeling really uncomfortable due to the the leakages and itchiness at the anal area. From past experience Enemas and laxatives and suppositories haven’t been helpful with my constipation. What can I do?

Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar

It seems that you have encountered some abnormal complications related to your colostomy or you are constipated. Your anal discomfort and the smell and itchiness are occurring due to the feces that have collected in the damaged area in your rectum. That can occur when the stool makes an unplanned detour. In view of the fact that classical treatments such as enemas and laxatives are of no help; it is time to speak to your care provider for other possible options, like diet modification, stool softeners, or special procedures.

Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease affecting the digestive tract. It results from the immune system attacking the gut lining, causing inflammation and various symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss, and fever. Complications include blockages, ulcers, and fistulas. Treatment involves medications, dietary changes, and sometimes surgery. Consult a gastroenterologist for a personalized treatment plan.

Pain and blood in your stool can be a serious thing. Trouble in passing stool plus sourness are also not exempt. For example, hemorrhoids could be the cause although there are other causes like infections or diseases of the intestine such as IBD. Seek medical attention promptly for appropriate care must be taken into account as far as this is concerned.

Male | 22

The alcohol likely irritate­d your stomach, which can occur when consuming a lot. Throwing up blood might indicate a blee­ding stomach ulcer. Look out for stomach pain, dizziness, and fee­ling faint. It's important to stay hydrated and avoid alcohol until you're fee­ling better. If it persists, se­ek medical attention right away.
