Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on. These past few days, whenever I go to the toilet to have a bowel movement, I can clearly feel that my anus has developed the symptom of itching again. Moreover, when I go to the toilet to have a bowel movement, there's blood dripping from my stool again. Why is the itching in my anus recurring?Doctor's answer:
Recently, I've noticed itching around the anus and broken skin during bowel movements, which indicates an anal and intestinal disease. It could be caused by hemorrhoids or anal fissures. In the meantime, you can first rinse with clean water and apply an over-the-counter hemorrhoid cream externally. Pay close attention to your diet—avoid spicy and irritating foods, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. If your bowel movements are dry, adjust your diet promptly.
