new symptom, kinda gross, but i need help

[Guest guest]

hey all,

i'm warning you that this is a little gross.

about 2 weeks ago i started have a wet feeling in my butt crack,

mostly around my anus. it feels like something is seeping out of my

anus. when i touch the area, it doesn't feel wet. it is also a little

irritated.

even when i'm not outside in the heat i have this feeling. it is

really freaking me out.

from what i've surmised, this can be related to hemmorhoids, anal

fissures or fistulas, crohn's, etc. but i don't really know.

i don't have my new insurance card yet (just moved) and my old

insurance won't pay for anything other than emergency room.

does anyone have any idea what this could be? should i go to the ER?

, take a hand mirror and see if you can look at

the area and see anything.

Maybe you could put the mirror on the floor and squat

down over it.

When do you get your insurance card? Can't you get

COBRA from your old workplace?

Be careful squatting too much. For three weeks I squatted over a mirror because I thought I had gotten herpes and I was compulsivley checking. I'm pretty sure this caused a spasm and touched off my vulvodynia.

,

This reminds of many years ago when i first starting experiencing weird

nerve reactions. I remember going through a period when i could have

sworn that water was being poured on my thigh -- it really felt wet -- but

there was no external trigger for that sensation. It was very odd.

Over the years i've discovered nerves can and do do all sorts of strange

things. . . .

The nerve might be sending your brain signals that the area is wet, when in fact, it's not. Much like, for many of us, our nerves are sending signals to our brains that we are being injured in the vestibule/vulva, when in fact we are not. Just my first impression. Becky

If I need to look at that area (which is often) I don't sqat - I put a mirror on

the toilet with the

lid down and stand over it. Or I lay back in bed elevated on pillows and find

the right view

that way.

thanks for your responses everyone. i have been really distressed

about this wet feeling....i'm not sure if i mentioned this in my first

email, but i developed a sore throat at the same time the wet feeling

around my anus started.

i went to the ER and they were useless. they just referred me to a GI

doc.....they said they couldn't feel anything, though from what I've

read in order to diagnose fistulas, etc, a scope is needed in some cases.

can wetness really be a symptoms of nerve issues? i can't seem to find

any info on this. i also have a little itching, irritation and redness

in the area.

i am SOOO scared that this is yeast. i have taken a lot of antibiotics

recently for lyme. i have watched my diet and been taking probiotics

the whole time and antifungals on and off. since this started i've

taken nizoral and ampho b, but they haven't made any difference. could

the yeast have become resistant?

i really don't know what to do.....this on top of my vulvar pain is

too much. to boot my partner called me a hypochondriac.....it really

hurt my feelings. i feel like my body is falling apart piece by piece,

i'm only 26.

thanks for listening. i would really appreciate any thoughts/suggestions.

,

I'd say yes, since i've experienced it. As i said, it was totally freaky when

it happened to me: i would suddenly feel the sensation of water running

down the front of my thigh -- as if i'd spilled some liquid on my pants -- and,

when i'd check, nothing. I don't what can do that besides an out-of-whack

nerve reaction. (Unless, in one of my parallel universes that broke through

temporarily, i really WAS spilling coffee repeatedly on my leg. . .lol.)

The itchy and irritation you're feeling, though, does make me wonder about

the possibility of yeast.

I had that same sensation when my Baker's cyst (a cyst that forms behind the

knee) ruptured. It was synovial fluid leaking down my leg (under my skin). I

could feel it and my leg became swollen. It stayed swollen for six months and

is still tender to the touch years later. It had nothing to do with yeast.

hi ora--

how did you find out that was the cause of your symptoms? did you have

to do anything to make it go away?

thanks,

When the cyst ruptured I felt like there was water running down my leg. so I

took a look at my calf to see if it was wet and noticed that it was swollen.

But it wasn't wet. As time went by that evening I looked it frequently and

finally got alarmed so I called my doctor. He told me to come in the office the

next day but I told him that it was swelling up a lot and I was concerned so he

told me to go to the ER.

At the ER they did an ultrasound and then told me that it was a ruptured Baker's

cyst. I went home with no treatment plan because they said there was nothing I

could do and that it was not something I needed to treat. But my leg was very

painful to the touch for months afterwards and is still painful when pinched,

(like when the doctor asks me if my ankles get swollen and pokes or squeezes

them).

I had had trouble with my knee for quite a while before that happened but on

that particular day I took aleve for the pain and half an hour later the cyst

ruptured. I blamed the Aleve and never took any more. It could have been

coincidence though.

, adults get irritated bottoms just like kids. It could very simply be that you need to put some A & D ointment on this area for a week or so and see what happens next. If this is cyclical, this could have to do with low estrogen, as I have a mild redness and itching in the same area during the progesterone phase of my cycle.
