There are 4 patterns of disharmony in our database that are associated with anal pain. TCM sees our body (and mind) as a holistic system in which health issues stem from imbalances, known as "patterns of disharmony". These patterns can manifest in a wide range of symptoms and illnesses, such as anal pain here.
All the patterns associated with anal pain are "Full" (also called "Excess") in nature. This means that according to TCM anal pain is seen as an acute condition, caused by an excess of pathological factors or substances that overwhelm the body's defensive capabilities.
"Heat" is the most common of these pathogenic factors, present in 4 of the patterns associated with anal pain. Other pathogenic factors and excesses which might contribute to anal pain include "Dampness" and "Damp-Heat".
