TMI Medical Filter: Previously, I had sometimes crippling stomach pain. That went away. Now I'm, uh, bleeding. Rectally. Um. Yeah. But my HMO doesn't seem to care all that much. MetaFilter is not my doctor, but I can't go to my doctor to ask... should I skip my HMO and go to the hospital? [more inside]

Has anyone out there got a prolapse of the rectal lining or sagging pelvic floor that causes a pressure feeling all the time like you need to empty bowels, and you cannot distinquish whether its pressure only or a need to evacuate? Do you know if kegel exercises are any good for this condition, or what would help while I'm waiting for treatment? Thank you very much.
