Hemorrhoid v fissure: Without an examination, it's impossible to determine cause of your discomfort. That's why you need to see your family doctor if this persists. Given your age, common possibilities include hemorrhoids & fissures, neither of which are serious. But still it's a good idea to check in w/your family doc. In meantime, be sure to eat lots of fruits, veggies, whole grains & fiber, to reduce constipation.
