The phenomenon of pain and blood in the anus when defecating is a typical characteristic of anorectal disease. There are many reasons for this, and the symptoms are very similar, so it is necessary to judge based on other symptoms. We have summarized the main types of diseases, and you can make a comprehensive judgment based on your own situation, so that you can figure out what disease you have. Let’s take a look at the reasons why your anus hurts and bleeds when you poop.

1. Hemorrhoids

There are many reasons for blood in the stool, and the first one that comes to mind is hemorrhoids. The blood in the stool caused by hemorrhoids is usually bright red blood, and the amount of bleeding can be large or small. Hemorrhoids are very common among the population and the treatment is relatively simple. Paying attention to a regular schedule, reducing psychological stress, quitting smoking and drinking will all help in the treatment of hemorrhoids. Pay attention to the intake of dietary fiber in your diet, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables to promote gastrointestinal motility.

2. Anal fissure

Another common reason for bright red blood in the stool may be anal fissure. If you have blood in the stool and severe pain in the anus, then you should suspect anal fissure and go to the hospital to make an appointment for an outpatient appointment in the anorectal department.

Both are nonspecific intestinal inflammations of unknown causes, which are more common in young people. The main symptom is bloody stools with blood, pus and mucus in the stool. Generally, the amount of bleeding is not much, and there are abdominal pain, diarrhea, or alternating diarrhea and constipation, or accompanied by systemic symptoms such as weight loss, fatigue, low fever, and anemia.

4. Intestinal polyps

It is more common in young people, followed by children, and the amount of bleeding varies. Intestinal polyps are generally painless. When intestinal polyps are large, located low or the amount of bleeding is large, the blood in the stool will not mix with the stool but will be attached to the surface of the stool. If the intestinal polyps are located higher, blood is often mixed with the stool.

If you have black stools, tarry stools, and thick black blood, it may be caused by gastrointestinal bleeding. You should see a gastroenterologist to see if it is enteritis, intestinal ulcers, or other diseases.

6. Bowel cancer

One of the more serious possible symptoms of blood in the stool is colon cancer. Many gastrointestinal cancer patients will experience bloody stools in the early stages, but other than that they will have no other obvious discomfort. However, many people mistakenly believe that they are "getting angry" or "having hemorrhoids", which results in delaying the treatment of the disease. By the time it is discovered, it is already in the middle to late stages of colorectal cancer.

7. Black stools or tarry stools

It is mainly seen in upper gastrointestinal diseases, such as inflammation, ulcers, injuries, vascular lesions, tumors, etc. of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum. However, be careful not to mistake black stools caused by ingesting large amounts of animal blood, animal liver, and phenolphthalein laxatives for bloody stools.
