Weird feeling in anus?

NC as embarrassing.

For the past few days I’ve had this weird feeling, a bit like I’m passing wind but it doesn’t quite come out, even if I am not passing wind. It doesn’t make sense I know, I’m trying to describe it adequately.

I don’t know if it’s a muscle / nerve issue, but I can’t find what I mean on Google.

it’s not constant and I forget all about it until it happens again. It’s disturbing my sleep as I’ll be in a light sleep and then I’ll have this sensation that something is about to exit my bottom but there’s nothing there. It lasts literally a second or so, that sensation of something coming out then it disappears.

no itching / soreness or anything like that so I don’t think it’s worms, and it happens during the day as well. Surely also if it was a worm, it wouldn’t only be a second, the sensation would continue for a bit longer than that?

I’ve been suffering with bloating for months but bowel movements are normal.

Any ideas?!

@MyRedTurtle ive had investigation for the bloating and all clear (abdominal CT, pelvic USS, bloods, faecal calprotectin and fit test)

seems silly to see a doctor because I get this weird feeling a few times a day. Hoping it just goes away on its own if i’m honest

Have you been taking peppermint oil or Colpermin? Side -effect?
