hi dear.
as i understood your colonoscopy was 3 years ago and your current problem is for 2 weeks.
with the history of constipation and itchy anus the most important thing you should consider is anal fissure.
its different from hemorrhoid.
the cardinal sign of fissure is painful defication,itchy anus and pain while sitting.
treatment is the same.you should use stool softener and anti hemorroid cream or suppository and sitz bath.
