Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been having occasional flare ups with anal itching for the last couple of years. For the past year or so my bowel movements mostly come first thing in the morning when I get up and is usually loose. I try to watch my diet and limit dairy and red meat as I feel I have mild Crohn s disease but never have been officially diagnosed with it,. Could there be some testing done that may help determine these symptoms?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, if this is the pruritus ani then it may be due to worm infestation and condition can be confirmed by stool examination but Mebendazole 100 mg can be taken once in day every week for three weeks hope this information helps.
