Anal itching is a very common disease in daily life. It not only seriously affects the patient's physical health, but also causes great harm to their physical health. Especially when children have anal itching, it will make parents very worried. Therefore, it is particularly important to find the cause and treat it scientifically. The causes of anal itching may include skin diseases, parasitic diseases, etc.

1. The child's anus is itchy

From a clinical medical perspective, the number of people suffering from anal itching is actually very large. Although they experience the same symptoms, there are many different causes. In medicine, based on the cause, we attribute the causes of anal itching to two types. One is primary itching, which is usually not accompanied by primary skin damage, and the main symptom is itching. The other type is secondary pruritus, which is more common. Most of the anal pruritus in clinical practice is secondary pruritus. Secondary pruritus can be divided into many categories:

(II) Causes of anal itching

One is skin diseases in the anus area

Such as anal eczema, ringworm, dermatitis, etc., which is mainly due to the attachment of feces in the anal folds, causing skin irritation and causing itching in the anal area. Anal itching caused by this reason is relatively common in life. Anal itching caused by this reason can be cured by applying Shanxintang Wanying ointment, which does not contain hormones. It can be eradicated in 3-10 days.

The second is anal itching caused by some anorectal diseases. There are many diseases in this category, such as anal fissure, anal incontinence, anal fistula, hemorrhoids, anal sinusitis, etc. These are all rectal diseases, which will cause increased secretions in the anal area, thereby producing bacteria that stimulate the anal skin and cause itching.

The third is anal itching caused by some parasitic diseases.

This type of anal itching mostly occurs in women. For example, some women suffer from Trichomonas vaginitis, which may cause anal itching symptoms.

Fourth, anal itching caused by some allergic reactions.

For example, some people in life prefer to eat spicy food, which may cause anal itching. In addition, some medications you take, such as antibiotics, may also cause anal itching. Generally, anal itching caused by drug allergy will be relieved as long as the medication is stopped for a period of time, so there is no need to worry. If you are worried, you can also apply some cooling ointment.

Five is anal itching caused by endocrine disorders.

This reason is very obvious in diabetic patients. The sugar content in the skin of diabetic patients is relatively high, which will stimulate the nerve endings and cause an itchy reaction. In addition, some people with hyperthyroidism may also experience anal itching.

Sixth, anal itching symptoms occur due to mental stress.

High mental stress can also cause anal itching, such as excessive tension, neurasthenia, excitement, etc., which can induce anal itching.

Seven is anal itching caused by some liver and kidney diseases.

Patients with primary biliary cirrhosis, bile duct obstruction, and late-stage renal uremia may all experience anal itching.

Eight is anal itching caused by some hygiene problems, such as wearing inappropriate underwear, using toilet paper that does not meet the hygiene standards, often wearing tight underwear, etc., all of which can cause anal itching symptoms.

What causes anal itching? The above reasons may be the causes of anal itching. In addition, we also remind all friends to develop good hygiene habits, exercise regularly, and improve their own immunity, which can reduce the probability of anal itching.
