I m 23 years old. 2 days back I had constipation and when I passed the stool It was very hard. And as it passed I felt a very sharp pricking pain and irritation in the anal area. The next morning I passed stools but I even saw 2-3 tiny drops of pinkish red blood. It was definitely not my periods. It wasn't coming out from urine also, so I guess it must be from anal area only. Even now wen I pass stools there is sharp pricking pain and itching that persists for 10-15 mins even after bowel movements. There is no blood in stool. But when I pass stools it turns the toilet water fully brown. I will visit a doctor in person within a day now. But just wanted to confirm whether this is serious? Is it like anal / colon cancer or something?

You might have sustained a small cut/abrasion in the anal mucosa~ `(ref. Anal fissure) avoid straining at defecation. Avoid constipation. Take plenty of fibre rich diet, liquids and fruits. You may take some laxative at bed time for few days. Wash the area with plenty of warm water at least twice a day. If it persists please consult a surgeon.
