: Get professional care ASAP. Condoms are not perfect; you're still at high risk for STIs and HIV and these are typical STI symptoms in MSM with multiple partners.

Also consider PEP or PrEP to prevent HIV.

this is the first time my butt burns after pooping, should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Likely nothing: See how you go the next few days.

-Whether you have blood on the toilet paper (hemorrhoids are common)
-Whether it just goes away by itself (irritation from a whole range of things is common eg. spicy food / toilet paper itself)
-Whether you have other symptoms like fever, abdominal pain etc.

See a doctor if you still have symptoms in a few days.

Question 9

burns when pooping like passing glass. fine after passing. stool softeners, fiber, hydrocortisone suppositories provide marginal relief. what is this?

Accepted Answer

Anal fissure: Anal fissures, thrombosed hemorrhoids, and perianal abscesses can cause those symptoms. Best to have your doctor look at it to get you the right treatment.

Question 10

my anus burns after i poop, why?

Accepted Answer

Probably: Have an anal fissure. Avoid spicy food and acidic foods such as all tomato products, drink 80-100oz of caffeine free/alcohol free fluid daily along with a high fiber diet. If it doesn't resolve within a couple of weeks, see a colon and rectal surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.
