A member asked:
What could it be if burning feeling when defecating(not severe)- not hemmies or an anal fissure(last checked)? gas? hurts little when wiping harder

Inflamed tissue: Burning sensation is almost certainly due to inflammation of the area or irritation of the sensitive mucosa. If a work-up/examination has been performed and not revealing, then would suspect irritation. spicy foods? Recurrent diarrhea? Overly exuberant wiping? Contact sensitivity to aloe in tissue (reaching here)? Sometimes trial with Tucks (witch hazel) pads or baby wipes is recommended.
