What Causes Itching In Anal Area?
Hi the last couple of weeks i've had itchiness in my anus straight after going to the bathroom. Wiping makes it itchier. Then today I thought I felt something just outside my anus like a pea. I'm a 26 year old male and pretty fit. I presume ill have to go doctor but any ideas?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your symptoms seem to be related to hemorrhoids.
Some advices that I can give to you are:
-Add fiber to your diet slowly to avoid problems with gas.
-Use topical treatments.
- Apply an over-the-counter hemorrhoid cream or suppository containing hydrocortisone, or use pads containing witch hazel or a numbing agent.
-Soak regularly in a warm bath or sitz bath.
Hope my answer was helpful.
Kind regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
