I feel pressure in my anal area, as if I constantly have something there. What could it be?

I don't go to the bathroom more often, but I'm not constipated either.

Hello Ma'am,

It can be many things, and to identify the exact cause, it would be best to consult a doctor. He will then be able to confirm that it is hemorrhoids, or an anal fissure, for example.

Sorry I can't be more helpful to you at the moment.

Good evening,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
