I have posted before on my itchy, sore, and even cold feeling scar tissue in my Barbie Butt, which hasn't improved despite creams, tablets, or trying to ignore it.
Could it be a small hernia causing my discomfort?
After the last inguinal hernia repair, could my abdominal pressure have transferred itself to my nether regions?
I can't see any bulge there, but when I take big steps or climb stairs, it almost feels as if something is pulling.
Maybe it's one of the little webs of skin I have all over that area, but walking definitely feels uncomfortable.
Ironically, riding a bike doesn't.
Also, I get the distinct feeling of downward pressure when I get up from a sitting or lying position, and then the itching, soreness, or coldness starts again.
How common (or not) are incisional hernias in sewn-up rectal areas?
