I (27F) have been experiencing ongoing incomplete evacuation for months, along with a sensation of pelvic pressure that is extremely uncomfortable. I have also been having thin stools and frequent urge to pee although I also feel like I can’t empty fully when I pee. I’ve always suffered from IBS-C, but it usually doesn’t last so long with minimal relief and doesn’t cause this strange pressure sensation. I do sometimes get some relief during my period.

Due to a family history of colon cancer as well as some of my symptoms (thin stools, mucus), my gastro had me get a colonoscopy. Everything was normal besides “moderate” internal hemorrhoids and a small polyp. I haven’t gotten to really go over results with my doctor since the office is closed today. She talked to me briefly after the colonoscopy and mentioned the hemorrhoids and polyp, but I was honestly so out of it from the sedation that I couldn’t think of any questions to ask.

I plan to call the office Monday, but just wondered if anyone has experienced these same symptoms and if the hemorrhoids could be the cause, or if I should pursue other tests.
