Question: For the past two weeks I have been experiencing a strange sensation of rectal fullness This occurred shortly after a bout of stress and frequent bowel movements My current bowel movements seem to be normal but I am experiencing more than usual gas I am not in pain nor have I seen any blood it does seem to feel better after a bath I do have pelvic floor dysfunction vaginismus which I see a pt for could this sensation be due to muscle tension
Brief Answer:
Hello. This isn't a muscle tension problem
Detailed Answer:
Hello Welcome Back to HCM,
This doesn't sound too serious. It may be a bout of irritable bowel syndrome or from an H pylori bacterial stomach infection.
If I're your doctor, I would screen you for the H pylori and if that were positive treat you with a course of two different antibiotics.
Please let me know if you need any more information.
Regards
