A member asked:

I have lots of anal itching. sometimes it appears as if it may leak a liitle stool. i've noticed my stools are softer. my doctor said i have hemerroid?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pruritis ani causes: 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 before treatment.
