How do you know you have anal infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain, lump, fever: Tender swelling with fever is a good clue for bacterial infection, including abscess (pus pocket). Lots of other painful problems including anal fissure (tear), hemorrhoids. Stds are possible too, especially if anal sex. Any doubt, see md.
