question: A few days ago I had, at least I think I had, a very painful hemorrhoid. I first felt it on the Wednesday. By the Friday the pain was unbearable. In the early hours of Saturday morning I felt the need to go to the toilet. During this bowel movement I think my hemorrhoid burst. There was quite a bit of blood, but I was able to clean myself up. The pain was almost immediately gone. However since then I have felt a strange numbness in my groin area, which has got better over time. My anal crack is becoming quite sore and constantly damp. I put a bit of tissue paper between my buttocks and 1hour later the paper was sodden with a kind of yellow pus. What the hell is happening?!
