Constipation
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
You most probably are suffering from Hemorrhoids (either external or internal or both). Constipation triggers the itch on the hemorrhoids. The vary fact that you did not pass stool for 3 days and not able to form stool properly for a week is good description to talk about hemorrhoids. Your water intake is perhaps too low to cater to the bowel needs you should need additional one to one and half litre.
You should see a General surgeon/Proctologist and get the examination to confirm the diagnosis of hemorrhoids. the other possibility is anal fissure.
Meantime you can apply an over the counter available antihemorrhoidal cream. Your local store pharmacist can suggest you the best brand with lignocaine and beclomethasone.
