Suggest Treatment For Severe Anal Itching

default
Posted on Thu, 27 Jul 2017
Question: hello

for about a month now i have had intense anal itching so much to the point when i scratch its relief. think its more intense after a bowl motion although im not certain. it now seems to sting ( doewnt anymore) and im assuming it's from the scratching. i have had hemmoroids on and off for years and noticed i do have a skin tag with a small white head in it and vessels around my anus are blue but not painful. so its like i have external or internal hemmoroids that just sit there but if im on the toilet i can always feel a small bulge which im assuming are external hemmoroids. But this itching is awful. i went to the dr she have me novasone but didnt help. i also have tried desitin a nappy rash cream told it works from forums ive tried online i took a worming tablet just in case but it returned after a week or so.

Brief Answer:
Use anti histaminic like allegra sos.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for query

As per your queries answers are-
your case appears to be grade 2 hemorrhoid (i.e.hemorrhoids prolapse and usually reduces by itself).Stage 1 to 3 are managed conservatively
Use PreprationH or Ruticool a combination containing contains Calcium Dobesilate, Hydrocortisone, Lignocaine, and Zinc daily over the hemorrhoid.

Oral Calcium Dobesilate-Initially twice daily for 21 days followed by once daily for 3 months.

A probiotic should also be taken regularly with these medicines. Probiotic improves overall digestion and relieves constipation.

Take isabghul husk daily.It's a natural laxative containing husk. It absorbs water from the intestine and swells up making passage of stool easy and add bulk to stool.

For itching take tab allegra once daily.However to cure it fully we need to treat hemorrhoid.

Thanks

Brief Answer:
Follow up answer.

Detailed Answer:
Hi again,
1)Have seen the pics, Whether its internal or external can be confirmed only after digital examination of rectum and anal canal in person by a doctor.
2) Ask your pharmacist combination containing contains Calcium Dobesilate, Hydrocortisone, Lignocaine, and Zinc(they are the constituents).Prep H can be ordered online also.

3)To have any problem anywhere in body is not normal.
Follow conservative management for 3 months if not relieved go for minimally invasive surgery.


Thanks.
