Does anyone's pain get worse after a bowel movement? Meaning dull aches and pain in lower abdomen..

If so, have you been given answers why?

Is this common with ibs?

Many thanks.

Have you looked into bowel endometriosis? Is your BM pain worse before, during or after your period?

Hi, it's hard to tell as I'm on contraception that has stopped and make my periods really irregular.

It feels like period pains all day every day. That aching feeling. Its the only way I can describe the pains.

Yes I get this with IBS and am too old for it to be period connected.It is like a constant dragging and aching in my lower abdomen and is horrible.Have not found an answer to it sadly but would love to if anyone else has.

I’m a male but had a dragging and gripping feeling in my belly. It was caused by h pylori infection

I recently was sent to hospital with this pain that would not go away they did find I have diverticular desease but I knew that already it comes and goes ! a dull pain that can turn into cramps I have also had my gall bladder out years ago it made it all worse too. I dont have periods anymore .

I just hate that it lingers all day until I go to bed. Nothing gets rid of it. Just fed up and miserable with it all.

The worry of kit knowing what s causing it is the worst part of it all. My mind goes in over drive.

I’m the samesometimes I can’t sit with it either need to walk about the house . Doctor blamed it on piles but it’s a different pain to piles.. but I find that at a warm bath helps with some Epsom salts in it doesn’t take it away but it helps a bit . But like you start thinking all sorts is wrong with you . It’s hard as it gets you down being in pain . But I hope you find something that helps .

Yes, I have this. I usually get a burning feeling on the lower right side after a BM but I don't know why.
