Anal itch - Open to All Other Health Topics Message Board

Just The One · 10-25-2006, 06:27 AM

I have had this problem for some time. The Doc gave me some Timodine cream and it cleared it up. But it just keeps coming back a few days later.

I thought that it may have been diet and changed that but it makes no change. I gave up drink for a while and there was no change. I don't smoke.

It is really bad at the moment and feels as though someone has just ripped a thorn bush between the cheeks of my *** when I wipe.

Can anyone help - or suggest something please.

Could it be hemoroids, I had them when I was pregnant and the itch was unbearable or maybe thread worms. Its a very uncomfortable problem good luck I hope things get better soon.

Thanks for comment but I don't think it is. it is more like a sore. red and raw. not very nice really.

How often and how long did you use the Timodine cream cream?

If it is a yeast infection it will take a long time to completely clear the infection and it not come back. Since it came back in 3 days then it was not cured, just calmed down and relieved the misery. Keep after the problem, using the cream as directed and for a longer period of time. It is not unusual to take 3 weeks or longer to clear a yeast infection. Yeast is normal in the intestines, causes problems when there are to much yeast in an area.

Eat yogurt with live enzymes, drink buttermilk, and check out acidolphus to help reduce amount of yeast in the intestines.

its an itch and more of a burn for 20 mins or so after use. but it starts from the first point of exit. like a sharp poike of a needle when "it" first come out.

Been dilema between ignoring it or letting the physician know during the next phys.

rather get something to stop the burn and itch after wipe but don't want the "deluxe package" deal at the doctor's. i'd hate to have someone even just peeking. esp. if everything was actually ok an djust from cleaning to hard.

during a phys with a new doctor, would the question about bowel habits come up? if it does, debating if i can avoid the "extra mile" by not mentioning about it to hopefully avoid being checked.

answers would be great
