Pain in the lower abdomen extending to the anus is commonly seen in conditions such as ulcerative proctitis or proctitis, where both the anus and lower abdomen may hurt. Besides pain, mucous, pus, and bloody discharge may also occur. It could also result from hemorrhoids complicated by infection or thrombosed external hemorrhoids. Additionally, in men, prostatitis, and in women, pelvic inflammatory disease or parametritis, may cause lower abdominal pain that radiates and involves the anal area, leading to discomfort. It is recommended to visit the hospital's proctology, gynecology, or urology departments for appropriate examinations, identify the underlying cause, and then proceed with targeted treatment.
