What Is The Remedy For The Itchiness In The Anus?

Hi, I am having symptoms that I believe could be anal tearing. The inside of my anus feels itchy and every time I feel like I need to go to the bathroom, I poop out a sort of mucus. I did not experience these symptoms until after anal sex. What should I do to treat this, will it go away on its own Thank you

Hi,

I can understand your concern for the itchiness in the anus.

I suggest you to stop any sexual activity by anal route for atleast few weeks of time to give some rest to the affected area. It will help you in healing of the inflamed mucosal skin of the anal walls.

Do not try to apply any kind of lotions or creams for healing and during masturbation too as it can cause secondary bacterial infection as well as multiple other problems.

Simply take antihistamine tablet like loratadine and maintain good hygiene and can do warm compression for early healing
All the best.
