What Causes Anal Itching And Blood In Stool?
Question: My anus has been itching for the past few days. Maybe a week, mostly after using the restroom. Today I noticed a spot in my poop that was red and there was some red on the toilet paper
Brief Answer:
Possible hemorrhoids,need further evaluations...
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Itching anus for few days and a red spot in your poop are indicative for hemorrhoids. This is especially true if you have been suffering of constipation recently.
I suggest to consult with a proctologist and to run colonoscopy to evaluate the status of hemorrhoids and other colon problems.
I also suggest to do examination of stool for ova/parasites to exclude intestinal parasites.
Meanwhile, you can apply hemorrhoid ointment locally (containing hydrocortisone to ease itching and zinc oxide to help repairing the skin).
Hope it helped! Let me know if I can assist you further!
