Brief Answer:
Hi,
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
There may be multiple reasons for it. However, your history is just of 5 days, hence, the main reasons may be-
Some infection of anus & rectum, which may include even sexually transmitted disease.
Some times the cause of burning may be stool. After the bowel movement, if the stool is not completely removed, it can irritate the skin.
For some people, liquid stool leaks from the anus which can irritate. Even in some healthy people, who drink considerable amount of liquids, particularly alcohol & caffeinated beverages, liquid stools may often leak from the anus.
Sometimes, the toilet paper is not effective in removing stool. The toilet paper can spread the stool over the anus & surrounding skin. In such cases toilet paper dampened with water may be used to clean it.
Besides this, anal fissure as well as hemorrhoids may also cause these symptoms.
Hence in your case, besides the healthy dietary habit & proper local hygienic habits, you may do as-
If you have long standing constipation or diarrhea, have a habit of sitting on toilets for a long period or family history of hemorrhoids, then you should get yourself examined for presence of anal fissure or hemorrhoids etc.
In case if the absence of above conditions is there, then you should be examined for any infection of anus & rectum including STI & treatment may be done accordingly.
