Defecation is an activity that people perform almost every day. It is a normal excretion phenomenon and is good for the body. It can eliminate dirt in the body in time and keep the stomach and intestines clean. However, problems during defecation are also quite common. For example, why does the anus hurt when defecating? This problem has troubled countless people. Let’s take a look at the explanation below. I hope everyone can understand it.

Anal pain mainly refers to a symptom of pain in the anus and around the anorectum, which is common to many anorectal diseases. In life, many people often feel anal pain. What should we do about anal pain? Before treatment, we must find out the cause of anal pain. The first thing to consider for anal pain is anal fissure and hemorrhoids, but it is best to go to the hospital for diagnosis, as anal pain may also be caused by other diseases.

1. The main symptoms of incarcerated internal hemorrhoids are distension and burning pain. They are mostly caused by varicose veins, damaged blood vessels, and thrombosis, which result in restricted tissue circulation and prolapse out of the anus and cannot be retracted. It is common in stage II and III internal hemorrhoids. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce or surgically treat the tumor as soon as possible, otherwise the surface mucosa will easily bleed, be damaged, or even become infected.

2. The main symptoms of external hemorrhoid edema are swelling and burning pain, which manifests as a localized lump at the edge of the anus. It is hard, smooth, shiny and obviously tender. It is mostly caused by fatigue, straining during defecation, or surgical stimulation.

3. There is no pain in the early stage of rectal cancer. Later, as the tumor grows and ruptures, the anus may feel heavy and painful. Common symptoms include changes in bowel habits, bloody stools, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, and weight loss. If the patient has the above symptoms, he should seek diagnosis and treatment from a specialist in time.

4. Anal foreign body injuries are mostly caused by external foreign body residues or improper diet, fish bones, and bone fragments embedded in the anal canal and rectum. Therefore, you need to ask a doctor to check carefully and remove the foreign body, and the pain will be relieved. If the retention time is too long, it may cause local infection.

5. Anal canal skin abrasions are often caused by certain special reasons, such as anal intercourse among homosexuals, or inserting foreign objects into the anus, which can cause skin damage to the anal canal and cause severe pain and discomfort.
