'''Rectal pain''' is uncomfortable and can be upsetting to many patients. Often, the origin of the pain is benign. Carcinoma should be ruled out in older patients. Many times, rectal pain can be easily diagnosed. In some cases, though, the pain may be from the urinary or gynecologic systems. Rectal pain should be distinguished from [[coccydynia]] which is buttock pain.
