Hello and thanks in advance for any advice.
I have had my ileostomy now for 10 years as the result of battling UC. For the past 3 days now, I have been getting really bad pressure in my rectum (feels like my insides are going to fall out).
Sitting, standing, or walking, it does not ease up. I feel the need to clench my bum to stop the pressure. When I go pee, I relax my rectum and it feels like I'm going to lose all my insides. This is driving me nuts.
Other than the first year after my surgery, I have not had any issues and have not seen a specialist in about 8 years.
Has anyone had this problem? Should I make an appointment to see a specialist?
