Question 5

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

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 8

itch in area above my anus?

Accepted Answer

Puritis Ani: Most likely this is a condition called puritis ani which is primarily caused from scratching.  Scratching the area only keeps it going.  Many people do this scratching out of habit or due to stress but the best treatment is to stop scratching.  Try soaking in warm water or even rubbing the area with ice which helps reduce itching.  It also possible to have pinworms that your doctor can check for.

Question 9

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 10

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.
