What Causes Burning Sensation After A Bowel Movement?
My bowel movements have changed in the last 4-5 months. Have had a history of constipation and having to take stool softeners occasionally. Currently, I go from 2-3 days between going. Very soft stools and sometimes loose, sometimes a burning sensation after . I have been taking nexium off and on for about a year. Have a history of heartburn. Thank you.
