What is the cause of pain in the anus? 4 diseases are very harmful

Some bad habits can easily cause pain in the anus. In addition, anal fissures, thrombosed external hemorrhoids, anal abscesses, anal sinusitis, etc. can also cause this symptom, and the harm is very serious. Active treatment must be carried out to be effectively controlled.

1. Reasons

(1) Anal fissure: The pain is cyclical and often occurs during or after defecation. It is mainly caused by irritation from stool and expansion of the ulcer fissure. The pain is paroxysmal burning or knife-like pain and can last for several minutes; the pain subsides after the stool passes. In addition, due to the stimulation of defecation, the internal sphincter may be in continuous spasm, causing severe and persistent pain in the ulcer fissure.

(ii) Thrombosed external hemorrhoids: In mild cases, there is a foreign body sensation, most of which are accompanied by swelling and pain. Due to damage to the perianal veins, blood clots form thrombi, and purple round hard nodules appear under the outer skin of the anus, usually at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock in the lithotomy position.

(III) Anal abscess: The main symptom is distension and pain, and the pain is like a chicken pecking when pus forms. Due to different factors such as the location of perianal abscess, size of abscess, pathogenic bacteria and patient's body resistance, the symptoms and signs that appear are also different. Common ones include subcutaneous abscess around the anus, ischiorectal abscess, pelvic rectal abscess, retrorectal abscess, and tuberculous abscess.

(iv) Anal sinusitis: Generally, there is slight pain and heaviness in the anus. During defecation, the stool presses on the inflamed anal sinus, causing burning pain in the anus. If the sphincter contracts due to stimulation, the pain will intensify and radiate to the buttocks and posterior thigh. If your condition is more serious, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up.

II. Comments and Suggestions

1. Diet: Improper daily diet is one of the main causes of anal pain and other adverse symptoms, so "eating well and drinking well" is the key to preventing diseases from entering the body through the mouth. Don’t be too meticulous about eating.

In addition, attention should be paid to ensuring that the fiber required for normal intestinal function is adequately provided. When drinking, you should ensure that the intestines are adequately supplied with water, and at the same time avoid excessive drinking which may cause adverse intestinal symptoms.

2. Regular behavioral habits: Some habits, once formed, are difficult to correct. Therefore, we should try our best to improve bad habits in our daily lives. For example, when going to the toilet, we should not spend too long to avoid constipation and various symptoms. In addition, reasonable exercise habits can also provide great help in disease prevention.
