Anus pain is termed as proctalgia and might have several reasons behind it. The anus is the part of your body where the large intestine opens up into the buttocks. It is surrounded by sphincter muscles and is the last passage of the GI or the gastrointestinal tract. The pain, if not severe, can still be distressing to manage and most of the time get alright with treatments.
Causes of anal pain
You might have lots of reasons for experiencing anal pain. The most common ones are sitting for a long time, diarrhea and anal fissures. Sitting down for quite some time, especially on a hard surface, can cause pressures on the anal muscles and nerves. Not only the muscles, the tailbone can get affected which might lead to severe pain. In cases of diarrhea, frequent passing of wastes makes your anus sore and raw. With excessive rubbing and cleaning, it might even start bleeding.
Fissures or cracks might occur in times when you have to exert extreme pressure on your anus for the passing of stools. This results in tearing of the anal tissues, although it does not require immediate medical attention. Menstruation cramps can, sometimes, be felt around your anus because the whole rectal area remains sensitive during this time. This is a more pronounced form of anal pain and makes the region numb for a while.

# Cramp in the lower abdomen
