Question:
The herpes are not only in my vagina, but near my anus (possible inside as well). There is an especially large bump right on the edge of my anus. I haven't had a bowel movement in several days, and yesterday, I really had to go. Every time I tried to go, however, the pain was excrutiating. I felt like razor blades were coming out. I just couldn't do it. I took stool softeners, hoping that would soften it and make it not so difficult to go. It is now about a day and a half later and the pain in that area hasn't lessened any. I've taken the stool softeners today as well.

I'm afriad that if I keep it inside until the sores heal, I will damage something inside me. I have the constant feeling like I have to go, but there is nothing I can do. Several times, I figured - Just do it, and be done with it - and it will hurt like hell for a few seconds and be over. But honestly, the pain is THAT BAD that i just can't bring myself to withstand it for a few seconds.

This morning when I woke up, I really had to pee, and I couldn't even get the pee to come out without the other stuff trying to come out too (sorry, I'm trying to make this as least disgusting as possible). It took me half an hour soaking in a hot bath and relaxing myself until I was finally able to pee. I'm scared that I'm really going to hurt myself.

What is the best solution? There must be something I can do. How long can I hold it in, waiting for the bumps to go away, before I do serious damage?

It's starting to drive me insane. I can't even walk around my house b/c the urge is so strong. All I can do is lay here.

Thanks for your help. :(

Answer:
just go for it.
i know- my ob did the same thing front to back. it was a killer.
but seriously its not good holding it in> now when u go its gonna be lol a big one.
but for me, it hurt more to pee (i guess cause its like acid..?)
it hurt at first, but then it died down, but wiping hurt like a bitch so, use some baby wipes if u have.

and if u dont let it come out one way> it WILL come out the other end(mouth) and that well, is nasty.
----------
also wanted to add maybe if you coated the sores with something it wouldnt hurt as much> i would try a&d ointment

Answer:
no less-painful suggestion, huh?? :(

Answer:
nope lol.
u can take a whole lot of pain killers like 20-30 min before hand. but ur gonna have to go for it.

Answer:
pain killers is not sounding like a bad idea. not at all.
i'm going to need them about 2 seconds afterwards anyway.... or else a whole lot of vodka.

Answer:
before going buy preparation H medicated wipes..........wipe the area and it will help ease the pain....almost feels like it numbs it slightly......then use the wipes to clean as well, not toilet paper because that will be excruciating. This is the only thing that helps me ....I get the razor cut feelings around my anus as well and this does help. Hope it helps you a bit.

Answer:
If leaving my house was an option right now, I'd go buy those wipes.

Leaving my house in this condition, however, is not an option. I can barely walk. i basically lay on the couch all day and then run from this laying down position to laying down in the bathtub. Anything else is too traumatic.

Though I'd try having a nice strong drink to the numb the pain, and used some of the Lidocaine cream that my doctor prescribed, and tried to give it another go, but I JUST CANT DO IT.

Call me a wimp, but I just bring myself to do it. Going to wait it out I guess. I think i'm irritating it more just by trying.

Answer:
if u take enough laxatives... u cant stop it.
or if u know that something u eat makes u go >>>

seriously u need to go, how long has it been since u last went?
i know its scary> i wouldnt eat/drink anything for a week cause it hurt like hell> but you still need to take care of your body. and holding it in, can cause alot more issues then just pain

""Stool can become impacted (packed into the rectum and large intestine) and unable to move forward. The rectum and intestine become enlarged due to the hard, impacted stool. Eventually, the rectum and intestine have problems sensing the presence of stool, and the anal sphincter (the muscle at the end of the digestive tract that helps hold stool in) loses its strength. Liquid stool can start to leak around the hard, dry, impacted stool---
Impacted (backed up) stool in the intestine can cause abdominal pain, as well as loss of appetite. Some people develop bladder infections.

Other health problems may cause chronic constipation, including diabetes, hypothyroidism, Hirschsprung's Disease, and inflammatory bowel disease. """

Answer:
I am afraid that if you keep this up it will hurt you more in the long run. Do you have epsom salts? That can be used as a laxative if you can't make it to the store. You dilute it with water, the directions are on the container.

For pain in the genital area I've found that the Monistat Soothing Care spray helps with pain and it doesn't have steroid in it. Also the Vagisil anti-itch wipes are kinda like the hemorroid cleansing cloths. The epsom salts have really helped me to use in the tub just to sooth the pain that and the Aveeno Naturals bath powder for poison oak.

Have you thought that maybe the stool impaction could be increasing the inflammation? it's just sitting there leeching out impurities back through your bowel. (I am really sorry to be so blunt)

And I second the comments about pain killers this might be the time to time it all out and go for it. I find that my vicodin rx usually takes about 45-60 minutes to kick in.

Also you should be drinking lots and lots of water even though it initially hurts to pee it helps your body flush stuff out.
