What Causes Pain During Defecation?
Question: i have pain when making poo
Brief Answer:
Could be Haemorroids or Anal fissure
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome to HCM.
Thank you for the query.
Many conditions like Haemorroids, Peri-anal abscess or Anal fissure can cause pain while defecation.
I would suggest you to get it examined completely by a General surgeon.
For symptomatic relief I would suggest you to apply lignocaine gel to the anal canal.
Avoid straining while defecating.
Use sitz bath.
All these steps will only help you to get symptomatic relief. They are not permanent cure. Kindly consult your Surgeon asap.
Hope this helps.
Take care, Bye.
