Question:
Why does my anus hurt?
When I shower, and amcleaning "up there" I feel what feels like a bump aboput the size of a quarter, maybe a little bigger. It hurts alot. Mostly if a Sit down alot, or after a BM. I was wondering is this a Hemmoriod(SP?)? or is this beacuase I have just Lost 110 pounds in six months, and my bum is just not built up back there? Any insight is appreciated. I know it is disgusting, but I am almost ready to go to the doctor with this M. Bare Assing situation. — sbinkerd1 (posted on June 19, 2002)

Well it could be a hemmroid, hernia? Or perhaps like me a zit:( I get a
boil like zit near this area because having lost akll this weight my skin
flops over itself, and sitting too much is painful and brings about this
boil like zit. Best to get your xchecked by your PCP, like I did.

Sounds like a 'roid. I didn't have one until I had surgery. Go figure.
Good luck and God Bless!

I had this recently and it progressed into a perianal abcess(sp?). If this
continues or is very painful get it checked out I cant even tell you how
much pain I was in. I had a hole in my butt the size of a quarter when it
drained one morning. I lived on vicodin for about 2 weeks, it was
misdaignosed as a hemheroid originally. I ended up on heavy duty
antibiotics for 2 weeks and my surgeon said that hemheroids dont hurt like
that. It was agony to touch if this sounds like yours then go to the dr!

Scott I am seeing my dr for this same thing on Friday, I just figured it
was hemmroids and bought cream but itsn't helping much. It hurts really
badly and sometimes bleed if I've had alot of BM that day. So I'm glad you
asked this so I know I'm not alone. I have never had hemmroids until about
the past 3 weeks so this is all new to me too:<

Hi Scott. I think you should go to the Dr. I ended up in the hospital 2
weeks post op with an abcess that had to be lanced. I had the same
symptoms. However I had a high temp with mine. I've heard others say that
oral antibiotics took care of theirs.

Do a search in the data base for Hidradentis Suppurativa. It is really
painful. Here is a link as well:

It was diagnosed an internal Hemorroid, but I am not so sure... I got some
Puslike matriel from it, and felt it "pop" in a very painful
moment, and after that it started getting better, and the swelling went
down. I don't know if Hemmoroids pop, but I am grateful it is over. I had
pain so bad it took me to the Urgent care clinic. everything is okay now!
thanks for all your input!
