Red Anus, Painful, Patches Of Blood. Friction Burn?

i m a 16 year old male, when i wipe my anus it really hurts, it feels like its raw red, and when i look at the tissue paper there are patches of light pink and sometimes bright red blood .. this started about 6 months ago, and i ve just tried to let it heal naturally.. maybe i wiped to hard previously and given myself a friction burn? sometimes it really hurts to sit down after and i ll have to stand for a while for the pain to go. i m straight and haven t had anything in my anus to cause any problems..

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

As per my surgical experience, there can be 2 possibilities as anal fissure or internal hemorrhoids, both of which can present as this issue.

Kindly get a consultation with a consultant surgeon for precise diagnosis and proper management. Helpful steps to be followed till that period would be
- drink more liquids
- consume high fiber diet
- bulk forming laxatives as ispaghula husk
- sitz bath regularly
- avoid all spices, non-veg, junk foods
- analgesic tablets and local anesthetic gel application after and before passing motion.

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

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
