Hello,
You wouldn't by change have hemorrhoids?
http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/hemorrhoids/index.htm
There are creams available for this without a prescription. Don't be
afraid to go to a doctor to have it checked!! I know you may feel funny
having someone look at it, but just tell the doctor when you meet them
that you are nervous/scared and they will help you through the
examination. (Are your stools soft, moist or do you notice they are too
hard?)
Best, Hope
