Can I have some advice please? I'm so fed up and embarrassed but basically I'm having trouble going to the toilet. It feels like something is stuck and pushing out and I can feel something pushing down whenever I stand up. It feels like my bum is going to fall out.
A GP did look when I came out of hospital and said that the diahrea has had an effect and to drink fybrgel. My worry is that after reading another thread on here about a little boy with a rectal prolapse, I think I've got that. On the Bupa website it says its uncommon for my age but people who have had spinal tumors get them (this is why I was in hosptial).
I haven't been properly to the toilet for days but I need to go. TMI but I've just basically had to help get some poo out with a tissue. It's not enough though and when I stand up I get the heavy feeling again.
I don't know whether to take laxatives and help it along that way. I'm now drinking two sachets of fybrgel a day. The hospital did want to prescribe laxatives when I left but because I couldn't stop going to the loo, I didn't get them from the pharmacy.
Another issue is with wind. I seem to have no control over when it happens and it is so embarrassing. It's not just a little 'parp' itll keep coming. I'm guessing it's all related but it's getting me so down. I don't want to be around people but I've got to go walking regularly as part of my recovery.
Does anyone have any advice?
