When I need a crap (the pain stops)

Post by graeme »

When I need to crap, the pain goes away. If I
stop myself from going to the toilet, I can keep the pain at bay. As
soon as I crap.....the pain returns. :confused:

Anyone else notice this and any idea why it happens :?:
Age:33 | Onset Age:19 | Symptoms:burning urethra, deep sore stinging around the perineum, dribbling | Helped By:when flare starts deep relaxing over a toilet to let out dribbling urine, hot bath, rubbing a heat cream on the perineum, Tens with a pad on the perineum, running, medication (solpadol) for pain. Current treatment: PT. | Worsened By:sitting, stressing over it, ejaculation, sometimes alcohol but I risk it. Been feeling a lot better last 6 months about 85% with a few flares lasting about 5 days. No longer having PT. Stretching every other night and I believe time is also a big factor for me

Started: Spring 2003; high urinary frequency and pain associated with bladder filling; urinary hesitancy; pubic/prostate/perineal discomfort; Helped by: trigger point therapy, Afrin nasal spray, Cymbalta, hydrocodone (small doses), distraction. Makes worse: sex.

Not sure we are on the same boat here I'm not on about missing a bowel movement I mean when you are ready to do one and having to hold it in the pain vanishes. :wink:

I get an urge to urinate every few minutes after I've been for about 30 mins :62_58_40:

It's the same thing. The nerves are common to both the urinary track and the bowel apparently so when you need a crap it kind of steals the bandwidth.

I always feel better when I need a poo these days.
