I've read around in the forum a bit, and I've found some answers, but I'm still un-certain, most questions like mine were from men, I am female. (Duh)


So to explain, a couple of days ago I started to get a sharp discomfort around my anal area, it hurt to go to the bathroom, walk, sit, or pretty much do anything, it lasted until late last night, when the pain started to cease.

I finally got the gull to examine where the pain had come from, and it appears to be a small "pencil" or "pea" sized hole BELOW my anus, on the side maybe about an inch away.

There's still some discomfort, but it is tolerable and very mild, I had started my menstrual cycle yesterday, so I couldn't accurately say that blood has come from this hole. I am sexually active, so could this be an STD?

I know I should go to my doctor and see what's up, but I'd like to see what other's answers might be, so when I do go I can discuss the options.


Main Questions:
Could this be an STD?
Could this be some sort of cancer?
Could this be just a boil or something along those lines that just popped and created this hole?
Could this be a cyst?
Could this be a fissure, or whatever they call it?


Just a couple of questions that are relevent to my discription, also some at-home advice on what to do until I can get into my doctor!
