Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have anal pain and stool leakage after defecation that persists for hours .had a rectal exam and colonoscopy but everything was normal.After bowel movement I have a pinching sensation in anus.EMG revealed puborectalis and EAS dyssynergia ,defecoraghy revealed rectocele and excessive perineal descend. I have a history of chronic constipation but now I have regular BM. My symptoms appeared 17 months ago??!!
** Thanks for contacting with your health concern and after reviewing your case history I'm of the following opinion:
1. You are probably suffering from 'Anismus' or dyssynergic defecation and symptoms may include tenesmus or constipation and may sometimes be attributed to extra pyramidal motor disturbance due to Parkinson disease
PS. According to defecography your symptoms could be in the Type III functional defecation disorder i.e. : impaired relaxation with adequate propulsion so get a second opinion from a general surgeon. [he may carry out anorectal manometry,rectal cooling test]
2. Initially simple adjustment like: bulk forming agents [psyllium husk], adequate hydration and pelvic floor exercises helps to form optimise stool and layer biofeedback retraining, botox injections and surgical resurrection [partial resection is ideal] can be carried out
