Discomfort in my anus

i've been having a bit of discomfort in my anus lately. especially when i sit down or stand up, it just feels a bit weird. its not really a pain, more of irritation. i had threadworms 5 yrs ago and its a similar feeling to that. but not itchy.
i dont think i have threadworms because there isnt any in my faeces and it doesnt itch at night either, so i was wondering was is going on? is it a threadwormfobia?

If it is worms, it could get worse. U should go to the doctor and get checked out. Just in case.

I don't know exactly what it is, though you can try doing sits baths which may help. Put a small amount of warm water in the bath tub and sit and soak in the tub for 5 to 10 minutes. Make sure you keep the area clean, too. If you still have a lot of discomfort after about a week, you can make an appointment with your doctor to get it checked out. Good luck
