Did I tear my bum?

Question

I gave birth 8 weeks ago. I swear the pain in my butt when pushing was worse then the vaginal pain!! 
For about 4 weeks after birth I struggled to poo daily.. well around week 5 my body started becoming more regular.. 
But during these 8 weeks since birth my ass absolutely hurts when pooing! I’ve seen blood also. 
What could this be and anything that helps?

Answer

Your talking about Hemorrhoids. If you ripped or cut to your anus they would have stitched you and told you if you had a 1-4 degree tear or laceration.

Answer

I ended up with an anal fissure. I had to go to a specialist who prescribed me some special cream and taking baths throughout the day was going to have surgery, but it finally healed. Also needed to take stool softener and Metamucil.

Answer

It sounds like hemorrhoids. I used tucks pads and the ointment the hospital gave me, however if you can’t feel it in the outside then they could be internal and I’m not sure if those methods would help
