It is quite common for women to experience pain in the buttocks area. We should pay great attention to this situation. There are many reasons that may cause this situation, the most common ones are hemorrhoids, anal fissures, and anal sinusitis.

Common causes of pain in the buttocks area of ​​women:

1. Anal fissure

The pain caused is regular and often occurs during or after defecation, mainly caused by irritation from feces and enlargement of ulcer fissures. The pain is a burning or stabbing pain that can last for several minutes; the pain is relieved after the excrement is discharged. In addition, due to the irritation of stool, the internal expansion may be persistent spasm, causing severe and long-lasting pain in the ulcer rupture; it usually lasts for several hours, and the patient is restless and very painful; in severe cases, the pain may last for more than 24 hours. In addition to pain, anal fissures are often accompanied by symptoms such as bleeding and constipation.

2. Anal sinusitis

Generally, there is slight pain and heaviness in the buttocks. When defecating, the excrement is likely to compress the inflamed anal sinus and cause burning pain at the anus. If the muscles atrophy due to excessive tension, the pain will worsen and radiate to the buttocks and the back of the thigh. It is often accompanied by a small amount of pus or mucous secretion with a foul odor. Over time, it can cause discomfort such as dampness, coldness, and itching around the anus.

3. Thrombosed external hemorrhoids

In mild cases, there is discomfort, but most cases are accompanied by swelling and pain. Because the veins around the anus are damaged, blood clots coagulate to form venous thrombosis, and dark blue, ring-shaped, hard lumps appear under the epidermis of the anus, usually at 3 or 9 o'clock in the lithotomy position.

4. Perianal abscess

The main symptom is distending pain, and when pus forms, the pain is like a chicken pecking at the skin. Because of the differences in the location of perianal abscess, cyst size, pathogens, patient's body resistance and many other factors, the symptoms and clinical symptoms are also different. Common ones include subcutaneous abscess of the anus, sciatic duodenal cyst, pelvic duodenal cyst, retroduodenal cyst, and tuberculous cyst. Doctors at Quanzhou Boshi Anorectal Hospital emphasized that in addition to different clinical symptoms, this type of cyst generally has fever, chills, constipation, and difficulty urinating. Unlike other locations, more than 90% of paraanal abscesses can cause anal fistulas, and the history of the disease is relatively long.
