Why does an anal sting appear? Could an ache in the anus be related to the bloodstains on the toilet paper? Could a stabbing in the anus indicate serious illness? The question is answered by the drug. Katarzyna Darecka.
Why does an anal sting appear?
Hello and welcome. My name is Sławomir and I am 46 years old. I have quite an unusual question. It has been bothering me for some time stinging in the anus. The problem started a few months ago, but at first the rectal stabs happened very sporadically. Now, however, it’s more common and I feel stinging in the anus several times a week. It’s not just a pain, but it is stinging in the area of the anusas if someone is sticking needles or shards of glass into me. It is difficult to even describe it unequivocally. Stabbing in the anus usually lasts several minutes, a maximum of two or three minutes, but it is quite intense.
I did not notice any other symptoms – I eat quite regularly, I also have bowel movements at fixed times. From time to time I have a slight constipation. Stinging in the anus is not related to them, however, it occurs differently, but actually more often shortly after a bowel movement. The only symptom of an anal sting is that I have seen some blood on the toilet paper a few times, but this is not a rule. I am asking for help – what can an anal sting show? Could stinging in the anus be a symptom of an illness?
