I could always tell right when it happened. It felt like a small sting during a BM. I never had blood with retears either.
If you are not sure, the next few days will give you an indication. Multiple bad days in a row usually means something has changed for the worse.
Hopefully, it was just a scare, and you are OK again. Bad BMs and bad days happen, even without retears.
