Now I am having daily pain in that area were the rectum us to be and it feels like a marble size something is there and the pain spreads from my recyum area up to my vagina area. I have been celibut for two yrs. so I have rulled out STD. I am seeing my colon Dr. and have gone through the process of elimanation (xrays, mri s, cat, fistulas. etc....). Now we are talking surgery that consist of a cosmedic surgon also. I am confused. Can you help me understand more clearly just what I m up for?
