What Could Cause Chronic Itching At The Anus For Over 2 Years Along With Wriggling Sensation?
Question: itchy anus for 2 years. daily. tried every cream possible. have inteenal hemmoroid non painful . feels like a wriggling feeling in anus but had worming tablets.
Brief Answer:
Proceed for non invasive treatment now.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Itchy feeling is not due to worms otherwise would have responded to medicines.
Its time to move on to one of the following Non invasive procedures:
1) Sclerotherapy: This is currently recommended as a treatment option rationale of injecting chemical agents is to create a fixation of mucosa to the underlying muscle by fibrosis.
2) Cryotherapy: Cryotherapy ablates the hemorrhoidal tissue with a freezing cryoprobe. It has been claimed to cause less pain because sensory nerve endings are destroyed at very low temperature.
In case if this is not successful then we have invasive surgical procedures like-.
Stapled hemorrhoidopexy - A circular stapling device is used to excise a ring of redundant rectal mucosa proximal to hemorrhoids.
Hope I was helpful. You should proceed for non invasive treatment now.
Regards

i have nad recurrent vertigo for 10 years amd now its debilitating. could there be a connection?
Brief Answer:
Sir, do you ever use your fingers to scratch inside anus to be relieved from itching?
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
No there could not be a connection between vertigo and anal itching.
However recurrent vertigo could be due to inner ear involvement can be Meniere's disease or recurrent labyrinthitis.
Do you have any diagnosis of vertigo?

i have been searching for 10 yrs. seen so many drs balance trsts came out normal bit seeing am ent again end of Oct. constant tinnitus but isnt meniere's hearing loss. yes i do scratch with my.finger insode the anus.
Brief Answer:
Follow up answer.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Inserting fingers inside the anus may cause many conditions like psoriasis, pinworm or yeast.
What had your primary doctor said after examining you by a proctoscope?
I would suggest you give a stool sample for detection of ova cysts yeast or protozoa.
Accordingly, medications would be started.
Hearing loss is not always seen in Meniere's and is called vestibular Meniere's.
Have you tried a low salt diet with diuretics?
Meniere's can be divided into vestibular and cochlear.
A typical patient presents with the triad of hearing loss vertigo and tinnitus but typical triad is usually seen only in patients having a typical age for this disease that is above 60.
Your age is very atypical of Meniere's (started in the early 20's) so can present with partial symptoms.
If it's debilitating you should give medications a try. I am not an ENT but as an MD I have seen many patients of vertigo etc.
Thanks!
