Anal Pain >

Anal pain is a common condition in which those affected experience pain in the anus or rectum and the surrounding areas. Anal pain may occur from a variety of conditions, including diarrhea, constipation, anal fissures, pruritus ani, or hemorrhoids. Anal pain can usually be remedied with conservative methods, such as over-the-counter-ointments, increasing your fiber intake, or soaking in sitz baths. Medical attention is only necessary for anal pain that is accompanied by rectal bleeding, dizziness, fever, chills, or anal discharge.
