Symptoms - anal symptoms

Good Evening

I wondered if you lovely people could please help me with my symptoms and what to do next.

I had intense stomach/pelvic pains in October 2018 so had an Endoscopy, Colonoscopy, CT and MRI scan which all came back clear. (The CT showed Schmorl’s nodules which is a condition to do with the spine).

I then had a smear test which revealed I have HPV16 and no abnormal cells.

Since having the above tests, I’ve felt constant pressure in my anus. It is worse after emptying my bowels and lasts pretty much all day! I can’t think what it is and don’t really know what to do now but it is very uncomfortable (not painful) and always on my mind. 

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks x

    As you've been experiencing new symptoms since you had your tests, the best thing to do would be to go back to your doctor to have this checked and put your mind at ease.

    Hopefully you'll receive some words of wisdom from our members and fingers crossed you're able to find out what the cause of this is soon.

    All the best,
