A member asked:
Hi, i have been having pain in my anus for the last two weeks. it is worsened by bowel movements and it gets considerably worse at night. there has been no sign of blood in my stool. is there anything i can get from the pharmacy?

Anal fissure: What you described suggest anal fissure. You may get a local anesthetic from your pharmacy for the pain. For a definitive solution you need to keep your stool soft. You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods.
