Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Anal Itching And Backache During Pregnancy?
I am 14 weeks pregnant with my 3rd child. This evening I went to the bathroom to pass a stool and when I wiped there was just orange liquid on the toilet paper, when I looked into the toilet there was an orange oily substance floating on the water and there appeared to be white specs in my stool. The toilet paper smelt fishy. My anus has been itchy for a few weeks and I do have hemorrhoids. In addition to this I have also had pain in my lower back, right side and lower abdominal cramps but these come and go. I am waiting for a drs appointment but it is currently the bank holiday weekend in the U.K. And with two young children I am unable to wait in a&e for a lengthy time. Thank you
You have history of hemorrhoids, due to pregnant uterus the veins around the uterus get swollen & cause itching & discomfort. You can take sitz bath or apply Promoxine to get relieve from itching & discomfort.
Backache is due to weight gain, bad posture, hormonal changes, Muscle separation & stress. Do regular exercises, be careful of your posture, avoid doing heavy work. Cold compress relieves pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
