For about a month and a half now, I've been experiencing periodic rectal pain in the same spot (I can't quite pinpoint the exact point of origin, but the pain feels the same, so I assume it's the same spot). The pain feels like a poke or a pinch, and it'll twinge once every couple of minutes (although there are times where I don't feel it for several hours), and it doesn't hurt more during bowel movements. The reason I'm posting about it now is because it's been more prevalent today than it has been thus far.
It's also been accompanied by a change in bowel habits. Consistently narrower stools and there was a period where I didn't have a bowel movement for about six days. I've only seen blood on the toilet paper once, and I think I've seen blood in the stools a couple times (like yesterday and today--somewhere between light and dark red), but I've been trying not to jump to conclusions about it. I've also consistently had white/yellow mucus in my stools.
I have some amount of health anxiety, but I'm also in therapy, which is why I'm not outright panicking about it, but I feel like it's gone on for long enough to where I should at least check with my primary care physician.
I just wanted to get some opinions on what it could be or how I should react. I'm also only 23, so I doubt it's anything cancerous, but still wanted to check in.
