Anal fissure, hemorrhoids, or herpes?

Posted , 5 users are following.

Ive recently noticed some mild pain when urinating and pooping. Anal skin feels dry but doesnt hurt too much. I included a picture. I will be going to get an STI check up this week so ill update on that but i'm so worried! Ive only had anal sex once and im almost sure my partner was std free. Ive had a new partner since then. We've never had anal sex so im wondering if its still possibly to get anal herpes? I do occassionally have constipation/diarrhea so im really hoping its just an anal fissure or hemorrhoid. Thanks in advanceimage

    it does.look like u have some.swollen veins there and theres also a sore so u could have a couple of things going on the best thing would be to see your doctor specially if ur having problems with your bowels aswel u could have some internal swollen veins aswel but the sore could be herpes i certainly wouldnt rule that out

    You do have several hemorrhoids (I see 3 or 4). Not sure about the red spot though, that should be checked.

    anal herpes isnt contracted from anal sex. genital herpes can affect both your genitalia and/or your anus. it looks like you have a small herpes sore or two

    Appears to be hemorrhoids and a small fissure. I would not suspect herpes.
