Throughout life, a person encounters many diseases, including not only common ones with understandable causes, but also those that raise many questions. Among them are burning and itching in the anus. Note that many men are embarrassed to consult a doctor for help to find out the causes of discomfort.
Symptoms
The main manifestations and the degree of their intensity depend on the causes and stage of development of the disease. Often itching is added to the burning sensation. Sometimes there may be the presence of blood discharge from the intestines, both during bowel movements and at other times.
Discomfort can be caused by many factorsFor external causes, itching may intensify after bowel movements as a result of the irritating effect of toilet paper on the anus. Sometimes it may burn, sting, sting, or itch.
Causes
Factors influencing the appearance of burning sensation, itching and other associated symptoms can be very different. They can be divided into 2 categories: external causes, which do not pose a danger and can be easily eliminated, and more serious pathologies of the intestines or genital area.
External causes that can cause discomfort:
- Insufficient hygiene.
The simplest and most common reason. Consists of rare toilet procedures using mild soap and warm water. Also, burning and itching may appear after bowel movement as a result of poor treatment of the anal area with toilet paper. Infrequent changes of linen aggravate the situation. Poor hygiene also promotes the growth of pathogens, which can lead to more serious complications and diaper rash.
- Excessive hygiene.
Constant washing, especially in combination with the use of powerful antibacterial detergents, can dry out the mucous membrane and destroy the beneficial microflora that protects the anal area from pathological bacteria. The result of this may be the development of candidiasis.
- Allergic reactions.
The sudden onset of negative feelings may be due to a reaction to a new allergen. These can be synthetic fabrics of underwear, cosmetics, fragrances in toilet paper or wet wipes, and exotic products. Also, external preparations for the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases (suppositories, ointments) can cause allergies.
- Shaving the anal area.
Sometimes itching can also result from this cause due to the shaved hairs growing into the skin or the irritation of the short growing parts on the surrounding areas. During shaving, too intense irritation of delicate areas of the skin and microscopic injuries occur, which in itself becomes a cause for discomfort.
- Excess of spicy seasonings.
The symptom is especially often caused by sauces and seasonings based on hot red pepper, which have an intense irritant effect on the mucous membranes. Depending on their strength, the burning sensation may intensify.
If the absence of concomitant diseases is confirmed, possible causes should be analyzed: lifestyle, nutrition and the influence of provoking factors should be excluded.
Haemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids are pathological changes in the cavernous bodies of the vessels of the intestinal walls. The condition begins to develop unnoticed for a number of reasons; symptoms most often appear towards the end of the 2nd – beginning of the 3rd stage of the disease. The first signs may be accidentally discovered during anoscopic examinations.
Main symptoms of hemorrhoids:
- burning in the anus;
- pain;
- bloody issues.
Symptoms usually worsen during and after defecation due to the traumatic effect of feces on painful areas. As hemorrhoids develop, voluminous lumps form; over time, they reach impressive sizes and cannot be pushed back into the intestinal cavity. This stage is accompanied by intense pain.
Hemorrhoids are accompanied by severe pain Sometimes, against this background, the patient develops a fear of going to the toilet, which contributes to the development of constipation and further deterioration of the condition. When hemorrhoids progress to stage 4, conservative treatment is often ineffective, which becomes the reason for the need for surgical methods of removing hemorrhoids.
Anal fissures
The appearance of a crack can be a consequence of hemorrhoids, but most often the cause of injury is excessive straining during bowel movements due to the high density of feces. The condition develops due to chronic constipation. Burning and itching appear as symptoms of physiological healing of injured tissue.
Anal fissure The appearance of a crack can be determined by the presence of large quantities after defecation. A similar symptom with hemorrhoids is more impressive.
Rectal polyps
Polyps are benign neoplasms located on the surface of the mucous membranes of the walls of the rectum. One of the symptoms may be the appearance of bright spots of scarlet blood as a result of their damage by feces during pushing. The condition is accompanied by pain combined with a burning sensation. Often polyps spread over the entire surface of the large intestine.
Appearance of polyps The condition is quite serious due to the likelihood of developing intestinal cancer. If you suspect their occurrence, it is necessary to conduct instrumental examinations to detect them: digital method, ultrasound diagnostics, sigmoidoscopy. To prevent complications, polyps are surgically removed and the causes of their formation are determined.
Anorectal fistula
The pathology is characterized by the formation of an abnormal canal running from the intestinal wall to the skin near the anus. Its appearance also causes discomfort and itching. As a result of contact with feces, fistulas can become inflamed, the condition is accompanied by purulent and bloody discharge.
Anorectal fistula Diagnosis and determination of the causes are made at an appointment with a proctologist through a visual examination and questioning of the patient. Removal of a fistula is exclusively surgical.
Chronic colitis
The disease is accompanied by inflammatory processes in the gastrointestinal tract tissues and causes a constant urge to defecate, diarrhea, pain, rumbling in the abdomen and flatulence. Due to frequent loose stools (diarrhea), excessive irritation of the external area of the anal canal occurs and burning and itching occurs.
The causes of colitis include the following:
- low fiber content in food;
- alcohol abuse;
Nonspecific ulcerative colitis is a common cause of bleeding as a result of injury to inflamed and ulcerated areas. The disease is complex and requires complex treatment. Progression may result in perforation of the intestinal wall, fistula formation, intestinal bleeding, sepsis and peritonitis. Due to severe complications, death is possible; treatment is only surgical in combination with injections of powerful antibiotics. To prevent their development, you should consult a doctor in a timely manner, eliminate the causes and begin treating chronic colitis.
Diagnostics include:
- laboratory tests of stool;
- ultrasonography;
- sigmoidoscopy;
- irrigoscopy;
- colonoscopy.

Worm infestation
Medicines for helminths Pinworms are the most common type of worm that causes itching in the anus; the worms often leave the intestinal cavity and are detected by manually palpating the itchy areas. For diagnosis, microscopic examination of stool samples or scrapings are performed to detect eggs.
Urinary tract infections
Bacterial infections and prostatitis can also cause discomfort and burning in the anal area. Symptoms arise as a result of the spread of infection from the urethra and the entry of pathogens into the rectal cavity. However, infections are accompanied by a number of additional symptoms:
- increased urge to urinate;
- small portions of urine, pain;
- impurities of pus or blood in the urine;
- pain in the lower abdomen;
- body hyperthermia;
- can cause severe tension in the lower back.
Prostatitis If you suspect a genitourinary infection, you should submit urine samples for bacteriological examination to detect the cause of the disease. An ultrasound examination allows you to assess the condition of the prostate gland and make the correct diagnosis. After getting rid of the main infection, the symptoms also disappear. In case of severe discomfort during therapy, the use of local agents to alleviate symptoms is allowed.
Treatment
The treatment method is determined by the type of disease that caused the discomfort:
- Haemorrhoids.
Treatment options depend on the stage, type and cause of hemorrhoids. At the very beginning of its development, conservative treatment using local preparations in the form of ointments and suppositories helps well. Many of them contain several active components and have a complex therapeutic effect. In the presence of hemorrhoidal cones, it is possible to use minimally invasive techniques for ligation and excision of formations. The usual course of treatment with suppositories and ointments for external and internal use in the initial stages does not exceed 10 days. More advanced cases require long-term therapy. It is allowed to use drugs until symptoms are completely eliminated.
- Crack in the anus.
Treatment of anal fissures depends on their size, causes of occurrence and duration of their existence. For mild forms of the disease, conservative treatment with suppositories and ointments with a complex composition, which have hemostatic, analgesic and wound-healing properties, is sufficient. Also, during therapy and to prevent the formation of new wounds, you should follow the diet recommended for chronic constipation.
If it is ineffective, the use of mild laxatives is allowed. For example, lactulose-based products are absolutely safe, are not absorbed by the intestinal walls and can be used for a long time. The drugs not only help you get rid of constipation, but also normalize the intestinal microflora, eliminating the cause of constipation.
- Polyps.
The diagnosed presence of polyps is the reason for the need for surgical intervention. The scale of the operation depends on their size, quantity, causes of occurrence and area of distribution. Conservative treatment may include the use of traditional medicine based on viburnum juice, celandine herb or pine needles. You should not rely only on these methods due to the possible degeneration of cells and the transition of the disease to oncology.
- Fistulas.
Treatment is surgical. After removing the fistula, it is necessary to determine the cause of its appearance and take the necessary set of measures to eliminate it.
- Colitis.
There are several types depending on the reasons. Therapy usually includes symptomatic treatment. Dietary nutrition and normalization of lifestyle are added to medications. An important condition for recovery is the complete exclusion of alcohol, after which in most patients all symptoms intensify: pain, diarrhea, flatulence and others. The disease is also considered dangerous due to the possible development of unpleasant complications that pose a threat to the patient’s life.
- Worms.
- Urinary tract infections.
Treatment is determined by the type and cause of the disease. It is important to make a timely diagnosis and undergo a course of treatment in the acute period to reduce the risk of the pathology becoming chronic. This condition especially applies to cystitis and prostatitis. Early diagnosis allows you to get rid of the disease using a minimum of drugs and in a short time.
Since the appearance of itching, burning and other uncomfortable sensations can be caused by many reasons, it is advisable to look for the cause together with an experienced proctologist. The doctor will be able to visually assess the patient’s condition and suggest the presence of any gastrointestinal disease based on the information received about the accompanying symptoms.
Video about the types and factors of anal itching:
Itching in the anal area causes inconvenience to a person, and the usual way of life is disrupted. This symptom causes stress and anxiety, since the person does not know what is happening to him.
Initially, the itching begins in the rectum, after which it is localized to the lower part, goes out, affecting the anal area. The symptom can be paroxysmal, occur suddenly, and bother the person for several hours.
A person may feel a slight itching at first; after scratching the anal area, the symptom develops into a stronger one, especially during night sleep and with inflamed hemorrhoids. Along with itching, a burning sensation occurs, swelling and inflammation appear, the anus becomes wet, the hemorrhoids hurt and create discomfort.
Worms located inside the intestines do not cause itching; the symptom appears when the female pinworm in the anal area lays her eggs. The child scratches his anus, is capricious, his appetite decreases, and his sleep is disturbed. After bowel movements, the child also complains of itching; this happens when the roundworm, when exiting with feces, touches the anus itself, which causes a ticklish sensation. The presence of Giardia in a child's body also causes itching, in addition, an attempt to defecate is accompanied by sharp pain in the abdomen.
Giardia is present in the body in large quantities, they multiply quickly in the human intestines, this causes a rash to appear between the child’s legs, and this is what can cause itching. Diseases of the rectum are a common cause of itching in the anus. If a person does not complain of other symptoms, the condition does not worsen, no blood is released from the anus, itching may be a result of the formation of condylomas in the rectum. There is another side to this itching: if the symptom appears constantly, an anal fissure, hemorrhoids, or polyps in the colon may appear.
If, in addition to pain and bloody discharge after going to the toilet, a person experiences heaviness in the anus, a burning sensation, most likely he develops internal or severe external hemorrhoids. Only a doctor can tell about the extent of the disease after a thorough examination. Experts advise to be wary of such symptoms, as malignant tumors in the colon and chronic polyps may develop.
Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract entail painful constipation, the patient suffers from sharp pain in the abdomen, which leads to unpleasant aching itching in the anal area and hemorrhoids develop. If a person is diagnosed with intestinal dysbiosis, it will be visible how the mucous membrane is irritated, cramping diarrhea appears, as a result of anal itching.
In children
Itching in a baby should be treated when its true cause is discovered. The most common cause of itching in babies. Children often come into contact with animals; with dirty hands they grab the mucous membranes of the nose and mouth, which is how worm eggs enter the small body.
The child does not sleep well at night, scratches the anus, is capricious, has poor appetite, constipation, and teeth grinding can be heard in his sleep. It is not difficult to remove worms from a child’s body; you just need to take special medications, for example, Adipan, Vanquin, Dikaris.
It should be remembered that the dosage is determined by the doctor in a strict manner. To quickly relieve itching, enemas containing a weak alkali solution are prescribed. This composition, in addition to combating itching, will kill female pinworms in the intestines. To prevent worms from entering the body, children need to wash their hands more often, cut their legs short, bathe them once a week with chamomile infusion, and wet clean the house more often. Often, itching in the anus in children can be due to diaper rash, especially in the summer.
Children wearing diapers in the summer are more likely to suffer from diaper rash. To save a child from this condition, he needs to be washed every day, and if possible, do not wear a diaper during hot periods. If a child wears panties, parents need to choose cotton underwear; synthetics and bamboo are not allowed. If strong traces of prickly heat are found on the baby’s bottom, it is recommended to apply Bepanten cream or another similar drug.
The fungus appears in children with weak immunity, this is caused by poor nutrition, taking antibiotics, and fungal diseases can also occur in a child with diabetes or overweight. In case of infection with a fungus, you can observe how the skin around the anus becomes red, inflamed, and constantly itches. Sometimes such symptoms are confused with allergies, in which case the doctor must do a test.
It is not the fungus itself that is treated, but its cause; first, the child’s immunity should be increased; at the same time, medications such as Nystatin and Candide are prescribed. If you notice itching in the anus or bleeding, you should immediately consult a doctor. All this can cause various diseases, for example, rectal cancer (which in recent years has been treated with the drug Lonsurf), hemorrhoids, polyposis, diverticulosis, Crohn's disease, and infections in the intestines.
You need to call a doctor urgently if:
- severe bleeding from the anus began;
- severe vomiting after bleeding;
- the person suddenly felt unwell;
- high temperature, severe pain in the intestines.
For diseases of the intestines and anus, treatment is prescribed only by a proctologist. Before you see such a doctor, you most often need to get a referral from a general practitioner.
Irritation around the anus: preventive measures

Itching in the anal area is a fairly common problem that many patients are embarrassed to even tell their doctor about. As a result, it gets worse, turning from a nuisance into a debilitating torture. But the itching, as a rule, does not go away on its own. To eliminate it, appropriate treatment is required. And since there are many reasons for this phenomenon, you first need to clarify why it itches in the anal area.
Characteristics of the problem
Itching in the anus can be localized directly in the rectum or spread to the entire perineum. It can be either mild and short-term, or strong, unbearable, long-lasting, intensifying at night or in some cases acquiring a permanent character.
Simultaneous burning, swelling, maceration and excessive moisture of the skin near the anus, thickening or, conversely, detachment of the upper layer of the dermis around the anus are possible.
Why does anal itching occur?
This unpleasant discomfort can be the result of many different etiological factors. However, there are primary (independent pathology that occurs without a reason), or idiopathic, and secondary (as a symptom of an underlying disease) forms of itching in the rectum and near it.
Frequent factors of this pathology:
- haemorrhoids;
- anal fissures;
- helminthiasis;
- encopresis;
- liver pathologies;
- venereal diseases;
- diabetes.
In addition, itching can be caused by:
- chronic colitis;
- dysbacteriosis;
- fungal infections;
- skin diseases;
- tumors;
- dermatitis resulting from contact of the dermis with detergents, after the use of rectal ointments and suppositories;
- food allergies, especially due to alcohol consumption.
Often the reasons are excessively careful hygiene of the specified area, stress, and even tight, uncomfortable underwear.
Background diseases
Since therapy for this pathology should not only be symptomatic, treatment should begin after a thorough diagnosis.
Let us consider in more detail the reasons for the described phenomenon.
Haemorrhoids
With this disease, venous stagnation develops, then dilatation of the veins located in the rectum occurs. Itching, accompanied by burning and a false sensation of a foreign body in the anus, in this case is a consequence of thinning of the mucous membrane and skin of the pathological area. At the same time, their sensitivity to irritating factors increases noticeably. In addition, with hemorrhoids, the anus often becomes inflamed, which increases irritation.
Anal fissures
A crack in the mucous membrane in the acute phase of the anus is characterized by pain. Symptoms such as itching and burning appear later if the pathology is not recognized or treatment is not followed immediately. In this case, it usually itches at the time of defecation, and the burning sensation persists for a certain time after it. The cause of these sensations is a mechanical tissue defect, which is irritated by feces and then becomes inflamed.
Helminthiasis
For effective treatment of hemorrhoids, our readers advise.
This natural remedy quickly relieves pain and itching, promotes the healing of anal fissures and hemorrhoids.
The drug contains only natural ingredients with maximum effectiveness.
The product has no contraindications, the effectiveness and safety of the drug has been proven by clinical studies at the Research Institute of Proctology.
Encopresis
Insufficiency of the anal sphincter irritates the sensitive receptors of the perianal zone, especially in children. Due to their age, they are not able to provide proper hygiene. As a result, the skin becomes inflamed, the burning and itching become constant and can bother the child very much.
Venereal diseases
Liver pathologies
In liver diseases, the process of removing toxic substances from the blood is disrupted. As they spread throughout the body, they irritate sensitive receptors, including those localized in the rectum.
Uncomfortable underwear
Very tight underwear or thongs that are popular today are a fairly common cause of itching in the anal area, especially in girls. Its appearance in such cases is associated with constant contamination of microorganisms of the genital organs, skin and intestines. These unusual conditions lead to the release of their metabolic products on the surface of the dermis. As a result, symptoms characteristic of perianal dermatitis are formed.
Diagnostics
Treatment of rectal itching, like any other pathological process, begins with diagnosis. In case of severe discomfort, symptoms can be relieved with symptomatic remedies. In the absence of treatment for the underlying disease, manifestations will resume.
It is necessary to begin the examination for any pathology of this area with a visit to the proctologist
Firstly, hemorrhoids and anal fissures are one of the most common reasons why this area itches. In the case of these diseases, it is possible to manage with conservative therapy. However, for this, comprehensive treatment should be carried out as early as possible. Secondly, the cause of anal itching can be tumors, which must be treated radically and as quickly as possible.
If a non-proctological nature of the disease is suspected, the doctor may refer the patient to a gastroenterologist, dermatovenerologist or infectious disease specialist.
If itching bothers a child, it is better to immediately contact a pediatrician and get tested for the presence of worms, as this is a common cause in children. At the same time, you should check your sugar level. If the levels are elevated, visit an endocrinologist. If the patient does not have an organic cause for itching, he is referred to a neuropsychiatrist.
Treatment tactics
Simultaneously with examination or pathogenetic treatment, if the diagnosis has already been established, local therapy is carried out aimed at eliminating the increased sensitivity of receptors and relieving inflammatory phenomena. Anti-inflammatory drugs are used for this. A special diet and physical therapy are also required.
Itching in the anus is irritation of the anus, which is accompanied by an unpleasant burning sensation. The manifestation of this clinical syndrome may be a slight feeling of skin irritation around the anus, which can be eliminated by normal hygiene measures, or it may be a painful sensation of burning and severe itching in this area, which sharply reduces the quality of life. Most often, itching around the anus is a completely independent ailment. In this case, it is considered primary, that is, without clear causes of occurrence. However, itching can also be secondary, that is, one of the symptoms of a disease.
Causes of itching in the anus
The most likely factors that can cause itching in the anus include:
In some cases, the cause of itching in the anus is the use of antibiotics, especially erythromycin and tetracycline drugs.
Anal itching sometimes accompanies chronic intoxication (drug addiction, alcoholism) and mental illness (pathomimia, neuroses, psychoses, dermatozoal absurdity, etc.).
Itching around the anus can be caused by excessive consumption of certain foods and drinks (spicy foods, spices, citrus fruits, vitamin C, beer, wine, coffee, tea, cola, etc.).
The risk group for the disease also includes people who are overweight or excessive sweating.
Diagnostics
Diagnosis of this disease does not cause any difficulties, since itching in the anus is the only complaint of patients. However, determining the type of itching, its form (wet or dry), and determining the cause in the case of secondary itching is not such an easy task.
If you are concerned about itching in the anus, treatment for the disease should begin with a visit to the proctologist. For correct diagnosis, the specialist draws up a card of complaints, in which he enters the following data: when the itching appeared, whether it depends on the time of day, whether there is a burning sensation, tingling or painful sensations during bowel movements. During a visual examination, the doctor assesses the condition of the skin of the anus, its color, the presence of cracks and bleeding places. After this, several tests are prescribed - a stool test for the presence of worms, a test for occult blood, and an examination for the presence of hemorrhoids.
After examination by a proctologist, the patient may receive a referral to a gastroenterologist or infectious disease specialist. These specialists will be able to determine an accurate diagnosis and prescribe appropriate treatment for itching in the anus.
Treatment of itching in the anus
If the cause of anal itching is poor personal hygiene, no special treatment is required. All you need to do is carry out daily thorough hygiene procedures - and in the near future the itching will disappear. After defecation, it is recommended to use wet antibacterial wipes that clean the skin of the anus from fecal residues.
If you experience itching around the anus, you should reconsider your daily diet - excessive consumption of spicy and overly salty foods can irritate the skin of this delicate area. It is not recommended to wear synthetic underwear, as it does not allow air to pass through, causes excessive sweating and creates a greenhouse effect, which contributes to the active growth of bacteria.
In severe cases, taking small doses of glucocorticosteroid hormones will be effective. Doctors also prescribe external agents such as corticosteroid ointments, cooling water-alcohol solutions with anesthesin, menthol, lidocaine or novocaine.
If irritation is caused by dermatitis, you can use special drying ointments - Hydrocortisone, salicylic or zinc ointment. If a fungus is detected in a patient, he is prescribed ointments that are highly active specifically against this type of fungus (Triderm, Onabet, Clotrimazole, Posterisan).
For hemorrhoids, various drugs are used: Gepatrombin, Relief, Proctosan, Bezornil, Aurobin, Detralex, Ultraproct. The drug Menovazin copes well with itching and burning sensation in the anus, relieves pain and relieves irritation in external hemorrhoids. Treatment methods for hemorrhoids are determined only by a doctor. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary.
If discomfort in the anal area is caused by helminthic infestation, the most effective treatment for itching in the anus will be careful personal hygiene. After each act of defecation, it is necessary to wash the anus with warm water and baby soap and treat it with glycerin. It is recommended to wash underwear in hot water with laundry soap and iron thoroughly. This will help prevent re-infection. But the most important thing for such a disease is timely treatment of enterobiasis. The most effective drugs in this case are Pyrantel, Albendazole,
You rarely want to tell anyone about diseases that are associated with the rectum and anus. Therefore, a sick person suffers for a long time the unpleasant symptoms of burning, itching in the anus, and delays seeing a doctor. But this condition has a very negative impact on psychological well-being and affects performance and mood. Severe burning and itching interferes with everyday activities, solving everyday problems, and communicating with people.
Diseases associated with these symptoms are very common. Therefore, today on the pages of the website www.site, we will talk to you about itching, pain, burning in the anus, causes, symptoms, treatment of this extremely unpleasant condition.
Why does a burning sensation appear in the anus?
The reasons for this condition vary. A burning sensation can cause both a banal violation of personal hygiene rules and serious diseases of the rectum that affect the entire body.
Irritation of the anus, causing burning and itching, can be caused by using unsuitable, rough toilet paper, stale underwear or wearing thongs with rough seams, or underwear made of synthetic fabric. In this case, there is an active proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms that cause itching. When scratching, microcracks appear in the skin through which microbes penetrate. In this case, a purulent infection may accompany the infection.
Often, a burning sensation in the anus appears in overweight, overweight people. They often experience diaper rash and, as a result, itching and burning.
Frequent shaving of hair in the anal area can provoke a burning sensation. This causes small cuts to the skin. In addition, shaving can cause the hair shaft to grow into the skin. This becomes the reason why pain, burning, itching, and discomfort appear.
This condition often occurs in people suffering from diabetes. This disease causes severe, persistent itching and burning in the anus.
Very often, a burning sensation, heaviness, and pain in the anus are symptoms of hemorrhoids. In this case, when palpating, you can detect venous lumps around the anus. If the nodules are located internally, they can be detected when they fall out.
Also, one of the symptoms of hemorrhoids is bleeding during bowel movements. When the venous walls are irritated, severe itching and burning occurs, as discharge from the rectum irritates the surrounding tissues.
Irritation of the anus can also be caused by rectal fissures, the presence of condylomas, and anorectal fistulas. Cracks and abrasions in the anus very often appear due to excessive anal sex.
In children, the appearance of itching and burning in the anus is often associated with the presence of worms, for example, pinworms. During sleep, females lay eggs in the anus, which causes discomfort, discomfort, burning, and itching. When scratching the skin, the eggs get under the nails, then re-infection occurs. While the number of worms is small, symptoms and burning appear rarely, once every 2-3 days. As their population increases, itching and burning are a constant concern.
Also, unpleasant sensations and discomfort may indicate liver disease, blockage, or dysfunction of the bile ducts. In this case, a large amount of bile enters the bloodstream, causing irritation of the mucous membrane.
Burning and itching are also signs of the presence of lamblia. The development of giardiasis is almost always accompanied by severe cramping pain in the abdominal area and frequent, foamy stools. This may also cause itching and burning near the anus.
Treatment of burning in the anus
First of all, you should determine the cause, since treatment depends entirely on this. Therefore, you should put aside false shame and seek help from a proctologist.
You should also carefully monitor the hygiene of the anal area. Rinse the area with warm water after each use of the toilet or replace toilet paper with wet sanitary wipes. Be sure to get tested for worm eggs and protozoan microorganisms. To do this, you must undergo certain tests.
Sometimes burning and itching of the anus are associated with the specific diet. Fans of spicy food generously seasoned with pepper feel this due to the irritating effect of food residues in the stool. Discomfort begins after defecation and persists for 1-2 hours.
For severe unbearable burning and itching, the medications decaris and pyrantel are used. If the discomfort is caused by hemorrhoids, cracks, you can use heparin ointment, relief drug, troxevasin gel. The drug menovazine perfectly eliminates symptoms.
If pain, burning and itching appear due to hemorrhoids, then you need to squeeze the juice from the ripe berries. Drink 100 grams of juice three times a day, adding honey to it and then wash it down with cold water. This is a good laxative. Healers have noticed that red rowan juice opens closed hemorrhoids, causing relief. But you can only use the remedy after the exact cause of the symptoms is known.
In general, if you feel a constant burning sensation, then the treatment of this condition should be determined by a proctologist. Only a specialist can establish the cause, make an accurate diagnosis, prescribe the necessary treatment, and allow the use of folk remedies. An attempt to solve a delicate problem on your own, to “endure” the discomfort, can lead to very negative consequences, including unstoppable bleeding and surgical intervention. So find the strength in yourself and visit a doctor. It will definitely help you cope with the disease. Be healthy!
