What Causes Sharp Shooting Pains In Anus?

Hi, I keep getting sudden sharp shooting pains in my anus when standing. It s so bad that I can only describe it as a knife up there! When I sit down I get the same feeling but as though it s in my vagina. My tummy feels swollen & It comes and goes. What could it be?

Hello,

As a physician, as you have sudden sharp shooting pain in the anus, my probable diagnosis is anal fissure or fistula or hemorrhoids or trauma.

Can I come to know whether you have blood in stool or complaints of constipation?

I will suggest you to consult with surgeon for per rectal examination. That will give a clear cut diagnosis. I will suggest you to apply Anovate ointment locally and tablet Dolo.

I will also suggest you to review here with detailed history or consult with the surgeon.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale
