Question 1

what causes a wet anus?

Accepted Answer

Sh*t + Fart = Shart: The anus is a rather remarkable muscle able to differentiate solid from liquid from gas. In fact, when healthy, one can pass gas while retaining stool. However, if you watch enough adolescent movies, you'll see scenes where someone loses control. Weight loss medication, orlistat, is well known to cause "oily spotting" &amp; inability to control bowel movement. if this doesn't answer your Q, write back

Question 2

what causes sores in anus?

Accepted Answer

Anal sores: Could you be referring to fissures, fistula, abscess? Sexually transmitted disease (syphilis, gc, hiv, etc.) should be considered. Hemorrhoids & rectal prolapse can appear as an outward bulging. Anal trauma of any kind may cause mechanical injury. Skin eruptions need to be considered. Evaluation is recommended to distinguish serious versus less concerning reasons for your problem as described.

Question 3

what causes pain in the anus?

Accepted Answer

Lots of things!!!: Ex-husbands or ex-wives!  but seriously, most anal pain is from clotted external/internal hemorroids, tear in the anal lining ("fissure"), irritation/breakdown of the skin around the anus from creams, excessive cleansing, ointments, or being too rough with toilet paper.  Infections, abscesses, fistula (connection from the rectum to the skin), warts, ulcers, cancer, difficult bms.  See rectal dr.

Question 4

what cause anus to feel pain?

Accepted Answer

Nerves: There are specific nerves that sense pain at the anus, and these nerves communicate pain  back to the brain just as anywhere else in the body. If you are asking what could be causing pain, there are many issues, from hemorrhoids and fissures to strains to more serious issues. I would recommend a visit to your physician for a physical exam.

Question 5

what causes sores on anus opening?

Accepted Answer

Multiple causes: Many possible answers. Could be hemorrhoids or anal fissure or abrasion from constipation. May also represent trauma from sexual activity or infection of some type possibly related to sexual activity or not. Try warm sits baths and avoid constipation for a few days but if no improvement seek exam.

Question 6

what is the cause of an absence of the anus?

Accepted Answer

Congenital: If not surgical, usually a congenital condition (anal atresia) caused by a failure of migration of the cells that eventually form the anal complex --they don't end up in the right place! usually diagnosed at birth as part of the routine baby exam, but may show up later as the baby doesn't poop and gets swollen!

Question 7

my question is what causes the area around my anus to itch like crazy?

Accepted Answer

Number one cause of: This, pruritus ani, itchy butt, is excessive caffeine. Beer also tends to make this worse as does excessive perspiration. Stop all caffeine and beer and use cornstarch powder liberall to the area several times per day and at bedtime. Caffeine classicly causes the itching especially if it wakes from your sleep at night.

Question 8

some of the inner part (flesh)of my anus is hard. is that a cause for concern?

Accepted Answer

Possibility: It could be hemorrhoid tissue or something else.  I would let a doctor check it soon.

Question 9

im young and when i wipe my anus it bleeds a little bit only sometimes what causes that?

Accepted Answer

Bleeding: Bleeding when wiping is often caused by a hemorrhoid, fissure/tear, irritation. However given your age with associated rectal bleeding, you should consider having a full colon evaluation by colonoscopy to fully investigate this and exclude other causes.

Question 10

does your anus has a ph balance that can be disturbed and cause weird symptoms or conditions ?

Accepted Answer

Yes,food dependent: I would begin a probiotic, such as align or phillips colon heath daily. I would also concentrate on increased dietary fiber, starting with fiber one cereal daily and more fresh fruits daily. I would also use a perianal lotion such as balneol after each bowel movement.
