Reply to "Unfamiliar complaints"

I’m glad you at least ended up with less discomfort. It seems like you’re getting throughput, so you should be able to safely wait for your appointment. There really is no home remedy for prolapse that I’m aware of, though straining as little as possible may continue to bring relief. A stricture wouldn’t usually lead to the hard stop you’ve described, whereas a prolapse obstructs by moving into the way during defecation. I guess another possibility (I’m really speculating here) could be a hardened ball of stool on the blind side of the pouch, in which case the dance moves after squirting in the tap water enema described by @Pouch2021 in another thread could theoretically help.

A prolapse can’t usually be identified on pouchoscopy.
