So, I’d say rectal pain is a new period symptom for me (2022ish). 6 months ago I started taking birth control since it’s been making me anemic since 10 years old, currently 20f.

My gynecologist told me every 3 months I should take a placebo week, which is what I’ve been doing. For some reason I’m getting the worse rectal pain I’ve ever received. It’s to the point where I have to call in sick, everytime I stand up I get like 5 sharp rectal pain in a row, I can’t even pee without getting multiple sharp pains, and it’s even gotten to the point where sitting down get trigger the pain, I’ve had to miss classes because of this.

Yesterday I just stayed in bed all day, as soon as I get up I’m hit with immense pain that can last up to 1-2mins. Before going on birth control I did discuss this with both my family doctor and my gynecologist, but because my pelvic ultrasound came back normal they say there’s no issue going on.

I do and follow steps online, I’ve tried meds, exercises/yoga, warm showers/baths, hot compressions, etc.

Genuinely what can do I? I don’t feel comfortable going to my gynecologist, she makes me feel like I over exaggerate and my case is just not a big deal.

I can’t keep missing classes, rotting in bed, and missing work because of rectal pain. I commute to school and I’m not allowed to sit at work.

Any advice?
