Have a query?

I have had stomach discomfort for the last 5 days. I do not have loose motions, but I am experiencing anal itching after passing stool. What could be the cause, and what should I do?

Anal itching after passing stool with stomach discomfort may be due to worm infection, irritation, poor hygiene, or minor digestive issues. Keep the area clean and dry, maintain proper hygiene, and avoid spicy or irritating foods. Consult a doctor, who may recommend appropriate treatment after evaluation.

You may be experiencing irritation or a mild infection around the anus, possibly related to hygiene, minor skin irritation, or a parasitic infection such as pinworms, which can cause anal itching after stool passage.

๐Ÿฉบ Possible Causes

  • Anal itching after stool without diarrhea often suggests local irritation or pinworm infection.
  • Stomach discomfort without loose motions may be unrelated but could indicate mild digestive upset or parasitic involvement.
  • Pinworms are common and cause itching especially at night or after bowel movements.

๐Ÿฅ What You Should Do

  • Maintain good anal hygiene: clean gently and keep the area dry.
  • Avoid scratching to prevent skin damage or secondary infection.
  • Consider seeing a gastroenterologist or infectious disease specialist for evaluation and possible stool tests.
  • If pinworms are suspected, antiparasitic treatment like Albendazole may be prescribed by your doctor.
  • Monitor symptoms; if discomfort worsens, bleeding occurs, or other symptoms develop, seek medical care promptly.

โš ๏ธ When to Seek Urgent Care

  • Severe abdominal pain
  • Blood in stool
  • Persistent or worsening symptoms despite care
