Hello Doctor,
Yesterday, after masturbation, I had a burning sensation in my anal area. Today, it just happened again.
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr.Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
It sounds like you may be dealing with an anal fissure, which is a small tear or cut in the lining of the anus, commonly causing a sharp, burning pain, especially after a bowel movement or sexual activity like masturbation. Anal fissures can also result in mild bleeding, often visible on toilet paper. These fissures are common, particularly among young adults aged 15-40. To help alleviate the pain and promote healing, try increasing your fiber intake to prevent constipation, staying hydrated, and taking warm sitz baths. Over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen can also help. If the pain lasts for several days or becomes severe, it's important to consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment, which may include medicated creams to help relax the anal sphincter and promote healing. In the meantime, avoid straining during bowel movements, use moist wipes instead of dry toilet paper, and consider applying hydrocortisone cream to the affected area for temporary relief.
Thanks
