What Causes Pain On The Right Side Of Anus?

Hello, I ve been struggling for two months with pain on the right side of my anus after bowel movements that lasts for hours. I just had a colonoscopy three days ago and had my internal hemorrhoids banded and they removed two polyps. I m glad that I had the colonoscopy done, but it didn t resolve the issue that was the main reason that I went to the doctor in the first place. I thought that I had a possible fissure, i also have an anal tag, but he never said anything about it. I m frustrated and worried.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thank you for the query. I understand your concern,
The pain by the side of anus after bowel movements could be-
- an infected fissure as you guess or
- Infected external haemorrhoid ( the skin tag you are referring to )
Please don't get frustrated.. management is not as trouble sum as you experienced earlier.
Home care consists of increased fibers & water in diet / schtz' bath followed by application of Pilex ointment over the counter
Meet your surgeon . he would examine & advise antibiotics/ anti inflammatory drugs/ stool soother for avoiding hard motions/local pain relieving ointment.
Few people do need surgery ( anal dilatation/ excision of external hemorrhoid).
Thanks
