What Causes Constipation And Small Pulsation On Anus While Taking Metformin?
i am 25yrs. old, 5.1" weight 160 lb, have some ovarian cyst and am currantly a light contraceptive to regulate my period to later become pregnant, im also taking metformin 800mg. for the cyst.
my problem is that I hardly go to the restroom dont feel the need to go, but i do go not as often as before i started treatment and for the past three days I ve been feeling a small pulsation on my anus and a few times they have been kind of big, dont know if it is cuz of the metformin or something else i have taken metformin before and this has never happen to me. is it that or something else, what can i do to make it stop?

Thank for asking a question
your concern being appreciated, it is the non-specific type of symptom you have that may not be indicative of any illness neither it is due tot Metformin, it seems to be the irregular bowel movement diet might be the cause, or it is the kind of physiological changes happening and it will come around on its own, try to change the diet have more vegetable diet, green leafy vegetable, drink more water and stop worrying, hope this information helps.
