What Causes Fecal Incontinence And Itching In The Anus?
Question: i have bowl problems i must poop 7 to 8 times a day and it is wierd shaped hase lines going down it and my butt itches all the time what do you think is wrong ?
Brief Answer:
How much quantit of feces do you poop at once?
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this rather not very typical defecation frequency. for how long has this been going on? Is it normally formed stool or watery and is the quantity normal, reduced or much?
It is not normal to poop 7times in a day. Given the fact that you have anal itches, I will recommend that you get a stool test to find out if you have any possible infection that may be able to explain why all this is happening. Supposed there is no abnormality detected, I will recommend that you get consulted by a Gastroenterologist for a more detailed examination and maybe a colonoscopy if need be. Also, your age suggests that you should have started having screening colonoscopy already. Have you ever had one before? if not, this is a perfect opportunity to get it done for it would have a double importance.
I hope this helps.I wish you well and feel free to ask for more information and clarification if need be. Thanks for using our services and know that we are here to serve you to the best of our ability.
