A member asked:

Burning sensation in rectum causes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. David Drewitz answered

Hemorrhoids?: A burning sensation in the anorectal area might be a symptom of hemorrhoids, anal fissure or proctitis (inflammation of the rectum). I suggest you see a GI doctor. Good luck!
