What causes anal itching after defecation?

Many people have experienced anal itching after defecation, but they often do not take it seriously. Little do they know that this is also an anal disease. If it is not treated in time, anal itching is likely to occur.

1. Early stage of anal itching : The main symptom of early stage of anal itching is mild itching on one side of the anus or some places around it. It is not too serious and patients can endure it by themselves. If patients with early anal itching do not go to the hospital for treatment in time, the itching will spread to other parts, such as the scrotum or labia, especially the itching in the crevices of the female vagina is the most severe.

2. Middle stage of anal itching : At this stage, the patient will feel more itchy, especially at night, feeling uncomfortable all over, as if there are many small insects biting him, making it difficult for the patient to fall asleep. Many people are always in a tense state in their daily lives, and often eat seafood and drink alcohol, which can easily aggravate the itching, making the patients restless.

3. Severe stage of anal itching : This is the most serious type. The itching will worsen from time to time. Many patients will scratch with their hands when they feel very itchy. After scratching, the skin in that place will become torn and painful, and even ulcerated in severe cases. If bacteria enter the body, it will be life-threatening.

After the expert’s introduction, I believe everyone has some understanding of the three stages of anal itching. I hope these can help everyone correctly understand the disease of anal itching. Once you find yourself suffering from anal itching, you should actively seek treatment and not ignore it. The consequence of not paying attention to treatment is that the disease will become more and more serious. It will be too late to seek treatment when it becomes life-threatening.
