Do you remember, did you received any contrast agent intravenously or did you have to drink it before the MR imaging? I would like to know it, because my dr. (I have a new personal dr now) said that it depends on radiologyst s decision.
Yes, I have similar simptoms down there. This was my first real UTI (it happened in march this year) and I got antibiotic Macrobid (I can hardly speak or write the name of this poison, because it made me so sick) I took only three pills and it literary burned my stomach and intestines. Besides the pain I could not digest food, stopped eating, lost a lot of weight and it took several months to recover my digestion with diet and probiotics. And it was then that my "pain in the ass" started, just that I thought it is still UTI, went to the ER, was told there that it must be genital yeast infection and took Canesten with no effect . After many weeks I managed to locate the source of pain in anal area. The feeling of soreness in the urogenital area still comes when anal pain is severe and in last weeks it is so. I drink some uvae ursi tea and take d-manose powder which helped so far. I wish I could have d-manose earlier and tried with it first not with antibiotics.
My neighbour, a man, has 5 years of anal pain history and he told me that when he has a flair up, it hurts even when he pees.
I read about how people got fissures after antibiotics and I met two of them in my neighborhood. We all know that antibiotics kill beneficial microbes too and when it comes to the point that gut microbiota is seriously imbalanced, a whole bunch of health problems can arise. And it is not only gut microbes. I got a mild ear infection with all this too and doctor explained to me that this is because my ear canal was left without protection of good bacteria. The colon, mucosa, the skin, are all covered with bacteria and many of them are simbiotic and working with us or for us, protecting us from pathogens. And I had a lot of antibiotics in the past, sometimes for obvious viral infections. How stupid! I was slowly, digging a hole in which I am now.
I apologize for my english, it is basic especially when it comes to the use of the prepositions. I have so many theories to tell, but I write slowly and I have difficulties to express my thoughts.
And the main reason
Disabling burning, drilling pain in anal area for almost a year, started after UT infection. Small anal fissure diagnosed, turned out it is probably not the cause of pain, MRI shows no inflammation or fistula. Grateful to forum members for support.
