There’s no single cause— anorectal pain could be caused from irritated nerve tissue from going too fast and too soon during anal play and exploration, strained bowel movements while sitting on the toilet, postural habits like how you stand, sit, and move, and back surgery or an operation in the pelvic region.

Chasing after the cause can lead you in frustrating circles, what you can do is move forward with the information you already have about your body and try out these four tips to find relief:
