Perirecital abscess?: You should be examined.Its hard for one to see down there, on your own.

A few possibilities: Pain in the rectum when sitting on hard seats may possibly be hemorrhoids or an anal fissure. I would suggest a quick exam by your a gastroenterologist to rule out any significant rectal problem.
