Why Having An Urge To Do Bowel Movement After Rectal Ultrasound?
Hi I'm currently taking Doxycycline to treat my severe moderate acne & have not yet experienced any side effects in the last 12 days. However, today I had a Dr.'s Appt with a Gastrologist & had an ultra sound done on my rectal area because I have an anal abcess fistula. I was feeling fine before the visit, but now I keep having the urge to have a bowel movement & nothing comes out. But I'm having an unusual feeling of discomfort in my feet while sitting on the toliet & I get nauseated too.

Hello
Thank you for trusting HCM
Dear ultrasound can't cause your symptoms and sitting position cause stretch on the nerve roots that supply to the legs cause tingling and numbness. It will recover soon. Rectal incontinence may be due to impacted stool, irritable bowel syndrome or inflammatory bowels.
Please consult your doctor for correct diagnosis and treatment.
