What Could Itchy Anus Post Stool Movement Suggest?
Hi, For a few months now, I have noticed an issue with my anus. After being to the toilet and ensure I have wiped well. After only a few hours (even sometimes as short as an hour) it gets very itchy. From this I notice poo leakage and find that I have to wipe again to stop the itching. Is this a concern??

Hi,
Over-enthusiastic anal hygiene may lead to itchiness. Try a barrier creme for a few weeks. If you have "poo leakage" I also suggest you see your own doctor for a physical examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Anders Mark Christensen, General Surgeon
