Why does anal contraction hurt?

The anus is a relatively important organ in our body. When there is a problem with the anus, it not only brings us physical pain, but also great psychological pressure. However, due to the influence of various factors in life, many diseases can be caused to the anus. For example, the most common symptom is anal contraction pain. When this happens, it is very likely that you have hemorrhoids. Now let’s talk about what is anal contraction pain.

1. Bleeding in stool:

The characteristic is painless, intermittent bleeding with bright red blood after defecation. Bleeding usually occurs before or after defecation. There may be simple blood in the stool, or it may be mixed with stool. The blood is bright red, and it bleeds in the form of spurts, drops, or blood when wiped.

2. Painful bowel movements:

Bleeding during bowel movements and perianal pain. It usually manifests as mild pain, tingling, burning pain, distension, etc.

3. Rectal pain:

Anorectal pain is mainly a symptom of internal hemorrhoids. If internal hemorrhoids become infected, incarcerated, or have strangulated necrosis, this can cause severe pain.

4. Tumor prolapse:

Swelling and prolapse inside the anus are mainly symptoms of middle and late stage internal hemorrhoids. As the internal hemorrhoids continue to grow, the mucosa and submucosa separate from the anal layer. During defecation, the internal hemorrhoid nodules can drop below the dentate line, float outside the anal canal, and prolapse through the anus.

5. Anal discharge:

Anal secretions mainly overflow from the fistula, but can also be discharged from the anus or from the skin around the anus. Long-term irritation of the rectal mucosa by hemorrhoids causes increased secretions; in the late stage of internal hemorrhoids, secretions often flow out of the anus due to relaxation of the anal sphincter. In mild cases, it will flow out during bowel movements, and in severe cases, it will flow out naturally even without bowel movements.

Note:

When the above symptoms appear, be careful not to blindly use medication. Do not use medication blindly. Even if it is effective, it will cause dependence in the long run. The best way is to rely on the patient's own adjustment, starting from life. First change your own living habits: mainly regular work and rest, light diet, correct bad posture: do not stand or sit for a long time, change posture from time to time, and do not take too long to defecate.
