What causes buttock muscle pain?

The so-called buttock pain refers to a symptom mainly characterized by pain in the anus and around the anorectum. Buttock pain is common to many anorectal diseases, such as anal fissure, anal sinusitis, thrombosed external hemorrhoids, perianal abscess, internal hemorrhoid incarceration, external hemorrhoid edema, anorectal cancer, foreign body injury in the anus, and after anorectal surgery, etc., which can all cause buttock pain.

Causes

1. Anal fissure

The pain caused is cyclical and often occurs during or after defecation. It is mainly caused by irritation from feces and expansion of the ulcer fissure. The pain is paroxysmal burning or knife-like pain and can last for several minutes; the pain subsides after the stool passes. In addition, due to the stimulation of defecation, the internal sphincter may be in continuous spasm, causing severe and persistent pain in the ulcer fissure; it can often last for several hours, and the patient is restless and in great pain; in severe cases, the pain can last for more than 24 hours. In addition to pain, anal fissures are often accompanied by symptoms such as bleeding and constipation.

2. Anal sinusitis

Generally, there is slight pain and heaviness in the buttocks. During defecation, the stool presses on the inflamed anal sinus, causing burning pain in the anus. If the sphincter contracts due to stimulation, the pain will intensify and radiate to the buttocks and posterior thigh. It is often accompanied by a small amount of purulent or mucous secretion with a foul odor, which may cause moisture, itching and other discomforts around the anus over time.

3. Thrombosed external hemorrhoids

In mild cases, there is a foreign body sensation, often accompanied by bloating and pain. Due to damage to the perianal veins, blood clots form thrombi, and purple round hard nodules appear under the outer skin of the anus, usually at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock in the lithotomy position.

4. Perianal abscess

The main symptom is distension and pain, and when pus forms, the pain is like a chicken pecking at the skin.
