Yes the tests are uncomfortable, but you could have abscess or internal hemroids. No waying of knowing until you are examined.
If it is an abscess & you don't get it taken care of there is a chance it will turn into a fistula & then it will be an uphill battle to cure it...
I have dealth with abscess/fistula for now 3 yrs....NOT ANY FUN, so please go get it checked out..
You have to get it scoped. I thought I had a hemroids, I had the same syptoms and only after a colonostormy. They found a mass above my rectum. So have it check out all the way. Good Luck
