Hello Doctor, It happens in the anus. I only experience extreme burning sensation for sometime and then it gets back to normal. No pain or bleeding. If it was a one off thing I wouldn't have bothered but it happens most of the times and so my concern. Thanks
Brief Answer:
There seems to be some inflammation in the area
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
Thanks for reverting back with details and I can understand your concern.
Burning in the anus has become a common problem nowadays in clinics. It usually happens as a result if some inflammation in the area. Spicy foods irritate the lining and cause burning. This may also be a start of hemorhoids or anal fissure.
Since bleeding is not there, drastic steps are not needed. I will recommend the following:
- Apply vaseline or coconut oil regularly in the area.
- Add butter to your foods to make it softer
- Drink lots of fluids. Drinking cleaner water with low TDS from an RO system will definitely help. Outside foods and unclean water can be source of infection.
- Eating curd can also help. Taking probiotics may also help.
- Since it has been a chronic (long term) problem, I will also suggest complete stool examination including culture, and tests for ova and cysts.
- Tab Albendazole 400 mg single dose to eradicate any parasites.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
