itchy and sometimes bleeding anus after long call.what could it be?
Make sure that you always wash your hands after using the toilet and before preparing and eating food.
It is probably aggravated haemorrhoids because of straining with hard motions (constipation). Bleeding can also be from a tear in the anal canal, called a fissure.
The itchiness can be from the irritated haemorrhoids and can also be caused threadworms, especially when this is at night, but can itch any time.
Threadworms can be caught from anything that is contaminated (door handles for example). This happens with bad toilet hygiene. If someone who has worms scratches their bottom and does not wash their hands, the worm eggs are on the fingers and under the finger nails. When they touch something the eggs (which cannot be seen by eye) are stuck to the door handle, for example. Or if you touch someone's hand the eggs can be passed by that. If you don't wash your hands and then eat food and lick our fingers, the eggs travel down the digestive tract and develop in the bowels. When the female worm comes out to lay eggs around the anal canal this causes itching.
Make sure that you eat a healthy and well balanced diet with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, lean meat fish (make sure all meat and fish is thoroughly cooked before eating). Eat fibre rich foods like Wheetabix, Shredded Wheat, porridge, fruit with skins on and vegetables. Drink plenty of fluids. 2 litres of water a day is usually recommended, more if you sweat a lot.
Cut our or cut down on sugary, processed and junk foods. Cut our or cut down on fizzy drinks and limit your consumption of alcohol.
Doing some form of exercise will also help with bowel movements.
A stool test would show whether you have worms. Look into the toilet pan after you have emptied your bowels, as sometimes the very thin thread like worms can be seen in the toilet pan. Threadworms are treated by specific medications to get rid of them. The medication can be purchased from the pharmacy or on prescription from the doctor.
It is more than likely that your problems is because of constipation and aggravated haemorrhoids.
Book an appointment to see your doctor to get the correct diagnosis and the appropriate treatment.
