Loss of rectal sensitivity ?
Hi all sorry keep asking questions , i have lost a lot of my anorectal sensitivity, it seems that every time I get a bout of watery diarrhea a little more feeling is lost. I can't really feel much of what is passing in terms of volume and size during bowel movements or whether solid or liquid. I also get some coccyx pain every now and then. Has anyone else had similar problems. Thanks Jim

I have had several fistulectomies and suffer from lichen sclerosis of the anal area, so I stay SORE all the time. :(

Coconut oil is FANTASTIC for soothing and healing the skin......
pure Lanolin is another that is soothing and healing
NB: use liners when doing this so you dont get oil marks on your clothes...
it does get better, as you get digestion happier and correct deficiencies (things like Magnesium, Vit C, Zinc) the cells and the nerves do heal and these issues reduce/go away!

Jim,
I have a theory that all of this acidic, loose stool movement through our systems sets some of us up to spasm, tension, contraction, whatever. A pelvic floor dysfunction. They say I have PFD in addition to MC. I also feel I have loss of some sensation too. Your Coccyx pain is a telltale sign of PFD. I remember back when I was watery loose all the time I would clench and try to hold my bowel movements until I could find a restroom. This cannot be good for the musculature of the pelvic floor, to be in a tightened, over-contracted state.
I will refer you to the book "A Headache in the Pelvis" by David Wise. I actually went through his protocol a long time ago, and I think, had I kept up with it more religiously (story of my life), I would be better off today. I highly recommend you read the book.
So if you don't think it is just a surface/skin thing (I get that too at times), you may want to see a physical therapist who specializes in PFD. There are trigger point release techniques you can learn that can help oxygenate the muscular in your PFD with the hope of restoring sensation. It's a long slow recovery from PFD.
I feel your pain.

thankyou
hi , a long overdue thankyou for your responses on this question. I had read them at the time but only just realised I haven't responded. I would definitely agree that the amount of straining is a contributory factor to loss of feeling. Also as you say there is a higher than normal acid content which doesn't help matters. Thanks for taking the time to reply
