You are the first person to state how i feel. i thought it was just me. as soon as i have sex i have to clean or i will be extra irritated. wow.
thanks.
I have had this issue for many .... many years. After a lot of discomfort while trying to figure this problem out, I discovered I am sort of ... allergic to my own feces. In addition, if there is a drop of semen left on me after sex with my husband, it's like a drop of acid on my skin, burns, blisters, it's horrible. Using a lot of TP trying to keep clean after a bowel movement would cause bleeding. I finally found my answer with a bidet toilet seat. It is necessary for me to be completely clean after each bowel movement or sex. If I'm not at home I keep a refillable mustard or catsup container with me. There are also portable bidets you can purchase. Hope this helps someone out there, I know I was so miserable for a very long time.
Hi,
There could be several causes for the symptoms you are having. You should reconsult with your doctor to rule out the following possible causes -
'Perfumes, chemicals, or dye on toilet paper can cause an allergic reaction.
Moisture from sweat or diarrhea may cause itching. If the anal skin stays wet, the skin begins to break down.
Some foods irritate the anus when they are expelled during a bowel movement. The most common culprits are caffeine, chocolate, beer, nuts, dairy products, and spicy food.
Infections such as pinworms, yeast, and genital warts can cause itching.
Hemorrhoids, which cause painful swelling of blood vessels in the anal area, can cause itching.
Cancer, in rare instances, may be a cause.'
There are certain factors which predispose to the risk of developing anal itching as a symptom.
'Factors that put people most at risk for anal itching are as follows:
Diabetes
Recent antibiotic use
Chronic dry skin conditions such as psoriasis and seborrhea
Profuse sweating.'
Do discuss these with your doctor and exclude any possible causes in your case.
