What are Sharp shooting pains in the rectum when on your period?

Answer 1

The most common cause of sharp pains in the vaginal area is vaginal dryness. This can be treated by using a number of lubricant products. It can also be caused by an infection or inflammation.

Answer 2

Such a symptom would be difficult to diagnose correctly, however, thoughts rise towards a possible fissure (a tearing of the rectum), which may have occurred previously, being exacerbated by the onset of menstruation. Using a Tampon may 'possibly' add to pressure against the rectum. Additional thoughts lead to possibly the use of feminine towels - containing absorption powders, which cause the rectum to become irritated. This may become more evident during bowel movements. Haemorrhoids are also a consideration.

Proctalgia fugax is the infrequent sudden and often severe pain of the rectum. Whilst not a common condition, it appears to be increasing in modern society. There are sublingual (under the tongue) antispasmodics such as hyoscyamine, trading under a range of brand names: Symax, HyoMax, Anaspaz, Egazil, Buwecon, Cystospaz, Levsin, et al.

One initial thought may be to consider hygiene. Most Anglo-Western societies do not own or understand the hygienic benefits of the household bidet. The alternative is constant attention to hygiene with paper products, which often contain drying powders or dust from toilet rolls. (imagine opening a new package of toilet rolls and finding bits of white dust and fragments of paper) - these can occasionally cause irritation. Warm baths can help to re-moisturise the perineum (vaginal-anal area).

Answer 3

Might be a sign of Constipation or Hemroids - Go see your doctor to be sure.

Answer 5
