What Causes Tightness And Pressure In Anus?
Anus feels tight. Feels like there is pressure going in my anus. This feeling occoured less than 24 hours ago when i had a hard time passing a succesul stool. It feels like i have to go number two but everytime i strain myself nothing comes and the feeling lf having to go to the washroom is still there. Is this anus fissure ? When should i go get medical attention? I am a female age 19 no medical history never been constipated. I eat salad or fruit 4 times a week.

Hello,
Welcome to hcm,
Your symptoms suggests you have constipation now.If there is any anal fissure you will be having severe pain while passing stools. Chronic constipation and hard stools can cause injury to anal mucosa and results in fissure. If you are having urge to pass stools and not able to pass then take stool softeners or dulcolax tablets.
Thank you
