What are the causes of anal
itching?
Anal itching is usually a sign or symptom
of a harmless physical problem with no
long-term health consequences.
Unfortunately, it can also be an
indication of something more serious,
such as:
Skin type - if the skin around the anal
area is too dry there is a significantly
greater risk of developing persistent and
sometimes severe anal itching.
Moisture levels - if moisture levels
around the anal area are high, the
chances of having anal itching are
raised. High moisture levels can be the
result of several different factors,
including over-sweating, allergies,
diarrhea, very wet and sticky stools,
inappropriate clothing, fecal
incontinence, and not having access to
toilet paper or any means of cleaning
oneself.
Abrasive rubbing - cleaning your
bottom with toilet paper can aggravate
anal itching if the sensitive skin area is
rubbed too hard, for too long, or too
often.
Over-washing the anal area - if harsh
soaps affect the skin, especially if not
rinsed off properly, the chances of
itching in the anal area may increase.
Some chemicals - some substances
found in some soaps, douches, laundry
detergents and body sprays may irritate
the skin and cause anal itching.
Type of toilet paper - the texture and
substances added to toilet paper may
irritate and inflame the skin in the anal
area, resulting in itching.
Some foods - some people may
develop anal itching after consuming
certain types of hot sauces or spices.
The irritation may occur when the food is
anywhere in the digestive system, even
when stools are exiting through the
anus.
If a stool is not smooth and does not
come out with the minimum of friction,
irritation may occur and then
subsequent itching - some people find
that their anus becomes irritated after
passing stools which originated from
eating tomatoes, nuts, popcorn,
chocolate, and even drinking alcoholic
beverages. If some foods make people
have diarrhea, their risk of developing
anal itching is greater (because of the
diarrhea).
Some medicines - some medications,
such as antibiotics can cause diarrhea,
which can cause anal itching.
Laxative abuse - if laxatives are used
inappropriately and the patient has
diarrhea or very liquidy stools, the
probability of anal itching occurring
becomes much greater.
Hemorrhoids - when the veins around
the anus or in the rectum are swollen or
inflamed the patient has hemorrhoids.
Hemorrhoids can occur both inside and
above the inside of the anus. They can
also appear externally, under the skin of
the anus. People with hemorrhoids
commonly suffer from anal itching.
STDs (sexually transmitted
diseases) - also known as STIs (sexually
transmitted infections) cause anal as
well as genital itching.
Parasites- some parasites may cause
anal itching. Parasites are more
commonly a cause of anal itching in
tropical countries, or tropical regions of
countries.
Skin conditions - such as eczema,
seborrhea, and psoriasis, which may
include itching in many parts of the
body's surface, often have characteristic
focal areas of irritation. People with
these skin conditions commonly
experience anal itching.
Some yeast infections - this generally
affects women. Yeast infections which
affect the genital area, may spread to
the anus, causing intense irritation.
Forced bowel movement - if the stool
is dry and large and the individual
heaves and still pushes it through, there
is a risk of an anal abrasion (small tear in
the anus). A deeper tear is called an anal
fissure, which may also cause itching.
Tumors - a tumor in the anal region may
cause anal itching. The tumor may be
cancerous (malignant) or non-cancerous
(benign). This is rare.
