View allI've been feeling really uncomfortable lately with some persistent constipation, and now I've even started running a fever. I'm worried these two might be connected. Could constipation actually be the reason for my fever? Would love some insight on this.
Constipation itself does not typically cause fever. However, if constipation is severe and leads to complications such as a bowel obstruction or infection, then fever may occur as a result. It is important to address the underlying cause of constipation to prevent any potential complications.

I'm having this feeling like there's a needle and a burning sensation inside my anus, especially when I sit down. It's really annoying, and when I walk, it feels like there's stool stuck there. I've been dealing with constipation for about 34 weeks now, and just yesterday when I tried forcing the stool out, I felt like a jolt of pain, like a needle inside. What could be causing this, and how can I get some relief?
The symptoms of feeling a needle-like sensation, heat, and pain in the anus, accompanied by constipation and a sensation of stool presence, could indicate an anal fissure, hemorrhoids, or proctitis; consider consulting a gastroenterologist
