Butt question.

[Anonymous]

I'll just be frank. I used a little less lube then I should have used yesterday.

Since then, my bowel movements have been EXTREMELY painful, and hurts like hell to sit/stand/walk/do anything. There is some blood on the tissue when I wipe.

Please tell me I just overdid it, and it'll go away in a day or two. It's not constant pain, and it's pretty much just around the hole. Is there anything I can use on it? I have been using Tucks pads but they aren't doing much good.

Not uncommon after, um, overdoing it a little. If it's still really sore after a day or two you should get it checked, but most likely you haven't done any lasting damage. Your body's ability to repair itself is pretty remarkable.

The only other thing you might try beyond Tucks is a hydrocortisone cream. You can find it at the store in the same section as Tucks, usually labeled as "hemorrhoid cream".

Taking hot baths can also help speed up the healing process.

Let's just say you won't be the first guy to learn this lesson the hard way. Just take it easy for the next week or so, and never ever skimp on lube ever again.

OP here. I'm actually already starting to feel better thanks to the hydro cream mentioned. Thanks for the advice you guys. And Lex, lmao, never ever skimping ever again.

"what what, in the butt?!?" but seriously - probably just a little tear in the anus called an anal fissure. Usually heals on its own. You could try using a gentle stool softener until the situation improves. If your still having issues in a few days get it checked. Otherwise, don't worry too much about it.
