Is it hemorrhoids when the anus itches during a bowel movement?

Patient's question:

Continuously this week, every time I go to the bathroom, I feel a little bit of pain in the anal area, and sometimes I feel like small bugs are crawling inside. I feel particularly upset because of the hemorrhoids causing anal itching. So, what are the symptoms of anal itching?

Doctor's answer:

Recurring anal itching and pain are likely caused by hemorrhoids. It is recommended to visit a proctology department for a thorough examination. People diagnosed with hemorrhoids can use hemorrhoid suppositories, creams, and warm water sitz baths to relieve symptoms. Patients should prevent the recurrence of constipation by developing a habit of daily bowel movements, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, and not getting cold. Additionally, attention should be paid to the hygiene of the anal area, and the anus should be wiped with warm water immediately after defecation.
