A member asked:

Can pyridium (phenazopyridine) make your anus itch?

Dr. Sheila Calderon answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Maybe: It turns the urine red orange and if you accidentally wipe your rectum with the same toilet paper you used after urinating it may cause you irritation and itching. If you are also taking antibiotics for a UTI you may also develop yeast afterward which causes itching.
