A member asked:

I have pain when passing stools, like a sharp pain but i don't have any bleeding, i also have pus coming out near my anus and it's red?

Proctitis?: That sounds like an infection, to be sure. Could be an infected hemorrhoid, or proctitis. Get an evaluation locally, as antibiotics may be in order. Could be an inflammatory issue as well, such as Crohn's or ulcerative colitis.
