Spastic Colon Archives

I am not having bladder problems. Last time I had sex 24 yrs ago, things were ok. Feels normal from that way in to digital exam, no pain.. However, there is something very painful.Very not normal.
I cannot even wear panty hose , the pressure feels like
there is a ball the size of a soft ball, large one, very very sore and tender being pressed on by the panty hose. I went to church month or so ago, and thought I would die before I got home. What is this.

I have severe colon problems, spastic colon and have some disc problems , is that one of those or do I have cancer the size of a soft ball. Not had a pap smear
for this is second year. No insurance. Many medical bills and people who do not like people with no insurance or money. Having sex is not going
to cure this. No smart alec answers. I am an
abstinent Christian.

What and what can be done. didn’t find in books. have had no experience with people with this problem.
Doesn’t feel like anything I ever had. A"ll this and
I hope not hell too. People are not too nice and now this.I had enough before this.seems like the fatter I get the worse it is, and the worse it is the fatter I get. It is not the only source of pain. Woe is me.

If you laugh, I hope you get cancer the size of a soft ball somewhere. I will ask this because I am not afraid of what you think so much as I am sick of this. . I guarantee you there are other poor women who are too embarrassed to ask, and have it too.
should have been all this and hell on earth too. Not the other place.

I am a 37-year-old male, 190 lbs. I have been to two urologists with different diagnosis. I have had trouble starting my urinary stream for as long as I can remember. The stream remains weak during urination and as a result I have a phobia about urinating with others nearby. There is never any pain or blood during urination. I also get up 1-2 times a night to urinate. There is no family history of prostate cancer in my family. I went to a doctor April 2008 because of increased strain while trying to urinate after I get up at night. I do go frequently during the day…especially after the first urination.

The first doctor said that I suffer from BPH due to an enlarged prostate. He performed a cystoscopy…urodynamics and a prostate ultrasound. Nothing significant was found during the cystoscopy. The prostate ultrasound came back with 29 cc or grams…not sure which unit of measurement is correct there. The urinalysis findings led my first doctor to believe that I may have MS possibly resulting in detrusor sphincter dysynergia (DSD). MRI scans of my brain and spinal cord came back negative for MS. The MRI for the cervical spine did find a right posterolateral C5-6 disk herniation that mildly contacts and flattens the ventral cord extending to the proximal right C5-6 foramen. I was on flomax/avodart for 7 months with no change in urinary habits. His recommendation is for a procedure…TUMT/TUIP or TURP.

I recently went to another doctor for a second opinion. The results (history/tests) from the first doctor were forwarded to the second doctor. After an oral examination, he did not feel that my prostate size was the issue. Since, I also have a history of large hemorrhoids/constipation/spastic colon and IBS; he thought there might be a correlation with that. I am an introvert and believe the source of most of my stress goes to my colon. He gave me a PSA test, which came back normal (0.5). Also, he performed a renal/bladder ultrasound. The results showed that I was not emptying completely…especially for someone of my age. After a cystoscopy with him (just last week), he said I have scar tissue in my urethra from a stricture. He thinks I may have suffered some injury as a child. He recommends that I undergo a Direct Visual Internal Urethrotomy (DVIU) to take care of the narrowing as a result of the stricture/scar tissue. He also wants to do an urodynamics test with me to see what he finds. He gave me a month’s sample of uroxatral, which did not help my stream any.

I am set to undergo an endoscopy with my Gastro doctor this upcoming week. Blood results show that I am chronic microcytic anemic due to low MCV/MCH. My hemoglobin is fine. My doctors think I have a Mediterranean gene even though I am mostly northern European. My ferritin levels are also really low and I have begun taking an iron supplement (ferrous sulfate). I underwent a stapled hemorrhoidectomy last October and already have one autoimmune disease (limited scleroderma/CREST syndrome); so he wants to rule out Celiac disease, I suppose due to possible malabsorption. I no longer have a bleeding issue with my hemorrhoids due to the surgery. Also since any effort to bulk up my stool due to increased fiber and laxatives has failed.

My biggest concern is the vast difference in opinion between both urologists in what my issue may be. Any suggestions? Are there questions I should be asking my doctors?

Thanks,

Tim

I’ve posted on here before so I am just using an old question to fill in the stuff before.

This morning I woke up && my stomach hurt so badly that all I could do was cry. I went to see my surgeon && he had me get an ultrasound && a bunch of blood work done. After I had all of that done my dad got me something to eat so that I wouldn’t get sick from my Lortab but after eating I was bent over the toliet in both ways & in so much pain that I couldn’t function.

He said that it could be Dumping syndrome, an Ulcer, or a spastic colon(i think thats what he said not totally sure)
But he didn’t really think it was the ulcer. Tomorrow (I guess it would be today- Friday) he is going to have me swallow a scope.

What else do you think it could be? && what are if it is Dumping Syndrome or spastic colon? && any idea why he doesn’t think it could be an ulcer?
I had my Gall Bladder out last Wednesday. Thats why I included the link as extra information so I wouldn’t run out of room

I dont want to alarm any of my cos workers, but I do have a spastic colon. I like to take several trips to the pots through out the work day, just incase. I have noticed that When I get up and struggle towards the bathedroom door, my co workers all roll there eyes. I guess that they are doing this out of concerns for my healthed and well being. I am thinking that I should send out an office wide email memo just to alert my fellow co workers of my spastic colon condition so that they will not worry so much.

Witty funny names like… your spastic colon… so it would read like this… you were sniped by your spastic colon or you were splattered by your spastic colon … and so on

I am breastfeeding my 1 year old baby who is very under weight due reasons unknown to me and the doctors. I am diagnosed with spastic colon, can it affect his health? Is there any possibility that he can inherit the disease from me anytime in life?

I am almost 39 with congestive heart failure, spastic colon, schyzaphrenia, & morbid obesity. (I know, what a combo!) (Can you say Loser?) I recently got put on Hyoscyamine for my spastic colon. I looked up this medication & it’s also used for control of respitory secretions in end of life care. This statement scared me & got me wondering if the Dr’s arent’ telling me all I should know. I’d appreciate your input. Thanks
