Why Am I Experiencing A Sharp Pain In Anus While Coughing, Sneezing And Laughing?
Question: hi, im 25, 5ft 10, and wiegh about 11 stone. For the past few days i have been experiencing a sharp pain in my anus whenever i cough, sneeze, laugh or go to the toilet. The area between my anus and the bottom of my spine seems to be a bit sensitive. I have not noticed any blood at all. For a couple of hours after having a long soak in the bath there seems to be less pain. I have no idea whats caused it and have never had any problems like this before. Can you please tell me possible causes and how to fix it?
Hi
Thanks for writing in
The information provided is suggestive of a fissure in ano
You probably are constipated
If yes manage your constipation and take sitz bath for fifteen minutes twice a day
If not continue with sitz bath
In either case apply local anesthetic gel after passing stool
Hope this helps
Do write back in case of doubts
Wishing you a healthy life ahead
