Could I have torn myself 'down there' or is it a UTI

[Hersetta]

I suffer from IBS and sometimes suffer from chronic constipation. A couple of weeks ago I had to strain terribly to poo and from then on I have had a pain at one side of my fanjo which hurts incredibly when i sit down and stings when I pee.

Haven't looked down there as yet but could i have torn something whilst straining or does it sound like a UTI and i need to get myself to the docs.

Any advise please?.

Poor you. Me too with IBS. Don't know the answer I'm afraid but yes could be a tear or something pushed out of place. A quick examination by the GP will tell you one way or the other. If it's still hurting after 2 weeks maybe was a tear that is a bit infected and needs antibiotics or something. Hope you get it sorted.
