i'm not so sure about the stress, but a big for sure on the IBS.

in my own case, stress can cause an IBS flare up, but the rectal discomforts are caused by the IBS. the hip bone's connected to the thigh bone. . .

Any gut issues can cause this kind of discomfort.

So it would feel like a mild pressure/cramp ? There's no real pain it's just annoying. But I'm trying not to get freaked out about it. My mind keeps going to prolapse, absesses and stuff

If you had a prolapse or abscess you would certainly know it.

Okay good! Have you gotten what I'm describing? A dull pressure/cramp. What do I do to make it go away

I think it’s different for everyone but eating light meals, not eating crap, maybe eating bland food for a while can help. Sometimes you just have to experiment. If you have IBS maybe working with a nutritionist would help.

Yes you’d know if you had a prolapse. And even if uncertain, it’s something that can be easily diagnosed by a doctor.

Okay thank you!

Has anyone ever feel the same thing before

I can only speak to my experiences with having ulcerative colitis but issues in the gut generally can cause everything from bloating to pressure to sharp pain to dull pain to cramping and everything in between. But everyone experiences things differently. Hell, sometimes even just just gas can can be super painful

I think the thing with IBS is the symptoms are broad, from cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, gas, etc to diarrhea or constipation, or both. So to me it stands to reason you could experience a lot of different sensations.

Food and stress are both triggers for IBS so managing your diet and stress will hopefully improve your symptoms.

Thank you! I was just making sure it's normal so I don't freak out
