TMI -

I’m 4 months pp and I had a 2nd degree tear ( not sure if that has anything to do with what I’m about to say) but that healed fine.

Since around 1/2 - 2 months pp my bum hole has been really sore! It started just after I went for a poo! Like I struggled to sit down properly without it hurting. Fast forward a couple of weeks after that and I noticed when I’m going for a poo it’s a burning pain.. it hurts so much that I have to proper concentrate on my breathing and I squeeze my sides to try and stop it hurting so much. I can have sometimes have diarrhoea and the smallest of poos so it’s not because I’m constipated or my poos are massive. Sometimes (not all the time) my bum actually bleeds. Only when I wipe but there is still blood. There has only been a couple of times where it’s turned the toliet water red.

I’m too embarrassed to go to the doctors about this! Anyone know what it could be? Or know if it will pass any time soon?
