This is embarrassing. my butthole has been very itchy lately. sometimes i wipe so hard it bleeds just to ease the itching. what could this be??

Possible hemorrhoids: Hemorrhoids are a common problem, which result from increased pressure in the veins of the anus causing the veins to swell, making them itchy. Occasionally bright red blood on toilet tissue, stool, or in the toilet bowl can be seen, particularly after passage of a hard stool. The intensity of anal itching and the amount of inflammation increases from the direct trauma of scratching.
