For over 2 years now I have suffered with pile-like symptoms - my bum veers between itchy and sore. Treated myself with threadworm medicine - but obviously it's not that. I think my symptoms were caused by constipation after having DD2 3 years ago. I'm seeing a gynaecologist this week to see if my bowel symptoms are caused by endometriosis - I was on the pill but when I came off and had periods my bowel movements became painful. I've had blood tests, etc etc - am at my wits end because the itching means I get very poor sleep!
