From time to time in the night I will have shooting pain in my rectum area. Takes about 30 minutes for it to subside. My daughter has this from time to time and also my sister. It has happened for several years. I am not alarmed but would like to know what causes this as it is very uncomfortable when it occurs.
Hello, It might be something called proctitis. Consult a general surgeon or a gastrosurgeon and get a colonoscopy done to look for any polyps or lesion in the rectum. As of now you can take laxatives like Lactulose for symptomatic relief. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
