Hemorrhoid? Fissure?: The two most common causes of this are hemorrhoids and anal fissure -- but fissure usually is painful. But there are many other possibilities, some serious. Best to play it safe and see a doctor.

If red: blood likely due to a hemorrhoid. Consult your PCP.

Pile: The vastly most likely cause in a young man is a pile (also known as a hemorrhoid). Hemorrhoids are so common that its fair to say, almost everyone will have one at some point in their life. They are usually brought on by relative constipation. They mostly settle by themselves. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/hemorrhoids/symptoms-causes/syc-20360268
