Have you been eating hot peppers?

[desi]

not really.... sometimes... i am watching my diet closely, do u think that cud be the reason?

[Mr_Nip]

OK, seriously, it's probably nothing but if it gets worse or you start feeling weird otherwise then you may want to say something to the PS.

this happens to me sometimes, it gets cured on its own.. this time it has been on for longer... the pain is hardly 2 on 10 i wud say, but just in case they categorize it as infection, idont want my surgeyr getting delayed... actually, after my lipo only suregery,.. i had the exact same thing going on...

[Mr_Nip]

I wouldn't think something like that would be an infection.  If it persists and you get a fever or something then maybe you should have a little more concern.  I have had allergies to various foods that resulted in similar burning in the posterior hole region. 

Hemorrrhoids can cause itching and burning.  So can hot foods, citrus fruits, and medications like antibiotics.  Another cause can be STRESS.  That's according to a book I just looked in called "Symptoms Their Causes and Cures" from the editors of "Prevention" magazine.  There is no mention of infection as being a probable cause. 

If you're still worried then discuss it with your PS.  Try not to get too worried about it, though.  Your nerves can do some crazy things to you before a surgery.  I developed a scratchy throat on my way to surgery and had to try to hide my coughing so that nobody there would notice it.  After I woke up I didn't have the scratchy throat or cough any more.
