Posted on Wed, 21 May 2014
Question: Last night my husband awoke in a sweat - his t-shirt was very moist. Along with that, he had
a burning/ stinging sensation his rectal area. He took a bath to help alleviate that sensation
and this morning was feeling somewhat better, but not back to normal. Have you any idea
as to what this was and if he should contact his regular physician?
