I've been having this intense pricking sensation right at the opening of my anus whenever I pass stools. It's not exactly painful the rest of the time, and there's no bleeding involved. I'm kind of worried about what might be causing this. Could it be something that needs attention or do you have any advice on how to deal with it?
