What Causes Tickling Sensation In Anus?
Hello, I have been experiencing a tickling sensation in my anus for many months. This usually happens in the evening. But it doesn t happen all the time so I have ignored it until now. I am wondering if it is pinworms or something else. I know that I do have mild hemorrhoids so maybe thats it?

Hello
Tickling sensation in and around anus may be due to these possibilities , these include.
1 Pin worm , diagnosis can be confirmed by stool examination or swab from anus .
2 Enterobius vermicularis or thread worm also causes typical sensation in and around anus.
3 Hemorrhoids ,as you mentioned in your query , this is one such cause .
4 Dermatitis , as this is also a common cause of such symptoms .
I recommend you consult a physician and get his opinion because physical , stool examination is important in this case .
Good luck.
