Home Remedies For Anal Itching

Aug 30, 2022

To begin, anus itching also called anal itching is a symptom of something, it is not necessarily a disease. When people are faced with an itchy anus, they are always scared to open up to a doctor which is very wrong. When you are faced with a persistent itchy anus, rush to the hospital and check yourself because it can be a symptom of something.

Causes of anal itching

Anal itching at times is caused by poor hygiene
Using soap and other products on your anus that can irritate your skin
Furthermore, Sexually Transmittable Infections (STIs) can cause an itchy anus
Some drugs side effects is an itchy anus
Anal or rectal disorders

3 ways to handle itchy anus at home

1. Do not scratch the itchy area

When you are having itches, it is good to avoid scratching the affected area. This is because, when you scratch the anus, it can cause more irritation which is not good. If the itching is unbearable, apply a moist room-temperature compress to the area.

2. Avoid products that irritate you

using soap, genital deodorants, moist wipes, and perfumes is not good for the anus which is one of the delicate parts of the body. For this reason, it is important to avoid using such things down there. When you use the toilet or want to clean down there, use white, unscented toilet paper or simply wash with clean water.

3. Cleanse gently

at times when you go to the toilet and release, you may end up not cleaning your anus well. The fact that there is little poo around that area can cause itches. So it is important to take your time and clean up well after using the toilet. Avoid scrubbing the area around the anus, and instead, clean the area around the anus with plain water.

In case you do these three things and in 5 days you do not see any changes, it is advisable to see a doctor. Go do some checkups and get a doctor’s advice on how to go about it.
