What Causes Burning Sensation In The Anus During Defecation?
Question: I am a 33 year old male experiencing intense burning during defecation. Have not been eating spicy foods
Brief Answer:
Can be due to hemorrhoids.
Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear,
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic for your query.
I've gone through your details and I appreciate your concerns.
Most likely you are having hemorrhoids, which are inflamed veins in the anus or rectum. Irritation to these veins can make you feel burning and pain during bowel movements.
I would suggest you plan a visit to a general surgeon and get a proctoscopy and digital examination of rectum done to rule out hemorrhoids as a cause of the problem.
If hemorrhoids are diagnosed then conservative management would be started.
You can use Preparation-H, a combination containing contains Calcium Dobesilate, Hydrocortisone, Lignocaine, and Zinc for relief till the test is done.
Diet suggestion-
Consume high fiber foods as a part of high fiber diet.
Grain products: (6-11 servings of grain product in your diet is required daily) whole grain breads, whole wheat, whole grain rye, mixed grain, cracked wheat, buns, muffins. Brown rice whole wheat pasta or brown rice pasta cereals made from whole grain oatmeal ground flax, wheat germ or wheat XXXXXXX
In baked goods vegetables: (3-5 servings daily) dark green leafy vegetables contain highest amounts of fiber e.g. Spinach, broccoli, green peas, green beans, turnip greens.
Fruits: (2-3 serving of fruits) apples. Oranges, pears, peaches. Berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries) dried fruits (dates, prunes apricots legumes, nuts, and seeds.
Regards!
