Brief Answer:
Causes to burning sensation in ass...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

The burning sensation you got in ass might be related to possible:
- hemorrhoids (if you are also suffering of constipation)
- anal fissure
- anal sex
- uro-genital infection

I advise to schedule an appointment with a proctologist and to run further tests to evaluate your anus and colon and find out the right cause.

Meanwhile, I advise to:
- avoid constipation
- avoid having anal sex
- take good hygiene of your genitalia

Wish fast recovery!
