Anus sting

---

I noticed that in the past year or so at times I would have some painful times going number#2 . Like a sort of stinging soreness or bloody BM's especialy when I wiped. Or when i would urine slow and it would trail to the back it would be a stinging sensation. For awhile I was thinking I might have had some sort of STD like herpes having some of sore spot, open sore of some sort. Although I was finding it curious that I have not done anal sex and it shows up there instead of my vaginal area, that has no sypmtoms like that. come to research finally an I'm realizing is it possible it could just be hemoriods, I have no external signs , but I feel it inside it hurts like I raw an cut on the inside at different times , Does it seem like hemoriods or something else? mW

I've heard that even a little bit of rectal bleeding can be potentially serious.

This happens to me occasionally. At first, I freaked, thinking I had cancer or something. Then reading up on the internet, I realized that the blood wasn't actually from inside my body, but was from a small rectal tear-not necessarily hemorroids. I think if you are having burning there, that is the source of the blood. But I am not a medical professional!
