Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Are Frequent And Painful Bowel Movements A Concerning Matter?
I had a pionidal sinus a few years ago that was operated on, and left open to heal. Lately, I now have a dark purple line down my butt crack, pain whilst pooping and pooping a lot more frequently than usual (usually 2-3 times now 6 or more daily). Should I be concerned?
No, there is no need to be concerned, but I suggest to see a surgeon to look at you to see if this pilonidal sinus is still there causing this symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Salah Saad Shoman,
