Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why there has been pus coming from my anus, and it has also been swollen and painful. It gets better for a while, then the pain returns. I'm asking, what is the reason for the dampness of the anus and itching at night?Doctor's answer:
Anal moisture accompanied by itching is commonly caused by conditions such as anal eczema, hemorrhoids, anal sinusitis, and anal fistulas. A definitive diagnosis can only be made after a follow-up visit to the colorectal department, undergoing an anal examination, anoscopy, and other relevant tests. Only then can treatment be considered. In daily diet, it is recommended to consume more vegetables and fruits while avoiding spicy and irritating foods. Additionally, it is necessary to quit smoking and drinking alcohol, maintain good hygiene habits, and keep bowel movements soft at all times.
