Pain Before Going to Toilet Posted: 04-17-07 01:08am
Hi,
I have an occasional problem that happens
right before I need to go to the rest
room. Sometimes I'll have this intense,
spasm like pain in my rectal region which
comes in slowly, hurts pretty bad for
about 3 seconds, and then slowly fades
out. I have to stand still and let it pass
before I do anything else.. I also
notice:
1. It only happens when I'm standing,
never seated
2. It almost always occurs right as I
enter my bath room. If I've been holding
it then it might happen outside, and then
several times as I look for a stall, but
this is very rare. (its happened maybe
twice) Because it seems to happen right as
I come to the bathroom I think it may be
caused mentally (as I'm ready to go)
3. When I do my business there is no pain
at all.
I'm 21 and in good health, eat well and go
to the gym regularly. The pains happen
maybe once a month as I'm going to the
rest room. It only happens if I feel I
need to go but delay it a bit (maybe an
hour because I'm working on something) I
don't think holding for just an hour
should cause spasms like that though. I
use the bath room on a regular basis and
certainly don't make a habit of holding it
in. Any idea what is causing this?
Thanks

My guess is that it's Hemorrhoids. I have
had the exact same symptoms. I would go to
a Dr so they can check it out and make
sure it is nothing more serious. Your
Local pharmisist should be able to give
you something to help.
Good Luck

Hi, There is a muscle back there(sfinxter)
not sure of the spelling that can have
spasms. I would not agree on hemorrhoids.
They do not cause spasms. My physican told
me to try to go to the restroom the same
time everyday. Are you getting enough
roughage/fiber inyour diet and drinking
plenty of water? You may need to not try
to hold it at all and just let nature call
when it does. This holding it may be whats
causing this muscle to contract and cause
you pain????? Hope you get better soon!
