Are Burning And Itching During Bowel Movement Normal After Appendix Removal?
I am having an issue with my anus.. I just got my appendix removed last week and when I go to the restroom and do number two.. It burns and itches mostly.. When I wipe there is a bit of blood is this normal after surgery or is there anything it could be?

Hello,
I really appreciate your concern, if there is something wrong with anal region then it may not be due to the appendix but this could be due to anal fissure, hemorrhoid, anal infection. Clinical exam will confirm this and for that better to see the doctor but it is not due to the appendix operation done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain
