it could be a serious problem if you ignore the symptoms so it would be wise to see a medical provider and have a proper examination. a common cause would be an anal fissure - a tiny tear in the ring of the anus. this is common in people who strain for bowel movements or who are prone to constipation. hemorrhoids are another possibility. less-common but possible would simply be peri-anal irritation caused by a bacterial or yeast infection. rather than worry about the cause or wonder if you have something serious take the very next important step: see a medical provider and know for sure.
why would my butthole hurt? . sometimes after having a bowel movement my butthole hurts to the point where it is very painful to sit down. it is a sharp pain. it will go away after awhile but it usually takes some time. could this be a serious problem.
