 Posted: 05/24/06 - 00:00 Post subject: Anal itching - very embarrassing problem! |
  |
|
My husband had a problem with anal itching, but he is too embarrassed to ask for help. I was thinking to get him some topical creams, but I don’t know what I can give him, because I don’t know the cause of it. I admit that is very embarrassing problem, but again there are worse things I guess.

Of all the places to get an itch, anus is probably one of the most embarrassing. An itchy bottom usually is a signal that fecal material or body secretions are irritating nerve endings in the anus, but the causes are numerous, and finding a specific reason for it can be elusive. More than likely, hemorrhoids, pinworms, fissures, anal warts or allergic reactions to toilet paper or foods are responsible for his dilemma, also can be caused by a fungal infection, which is particularly common among people with diabetes and can be one of the first signs of the disease. In rare cases, anal itching is a sign of an abscess, polyp or STD.

I myself "had" anal itching for almost 13 years and esp, at every night..how many nights for 13 years!! No exception of at least one night! But now, it's gone!!! I'm telling ya! It's gone!
I don't have to scratch my anus and bleed and have shallow-sleep(being irritated by itching and scratching and being conscious) through the night any longer!
Recently I took a generic version of "Loratadine" tablet(pill) that is actually an active ingredient of "Claritin" allergy relief for 24 hours for hay fever, runny nose(by allergies) and etc. What it does is blocking "histamine" bonding to its receptors. This bonding is a main cause of most allergic reaction(e.g "itching" on your skin with rashes). The cause of "histamine" releasing(allergic cause) is varied; but if this "histamine" reaction in your body can be blocked, itching can't persist. This is what all "anti-histamine" drug exactly and basically do in your body(in your blood) when you take an anti-histamine allergy tablet from such as Claritin, Benadryl, Allegra, Zyrtec etc.
To get to the point, after I took "Loratadine" tablets (genetic version of Claritin and much cheaper, too) for 3 days (the actual reason was for my skin irritation with rash), the agonizing(esp. at night time with no sweet dream) anal itching is gone! And it's been about a week passed now and it's not coming back(should not...)! It's just one week but I had itching every day for 13 years without an exception of a single night; so... surely, based on the fact that I described above about the correlation between histamine and anti-histamine drugs, taking anti-histamine drugs(in my case, taking "Loratadine" 24 hour tablet) cured the disease.
So, do you want to try? Do it!  Take one 24 hr tablet every 24 hours for several days. I'd be very happy if I can hear that by any chance, anyone get cured, too b/c of the sharing of my story.
Good luck! |

Dude,
It's working! Two days, two pills, no itch. I've itched for years. So far, so good. |

| I have a prescription for Clarinex for my seasonal allergies, so you think by taking one per day it may stop my burning and itching? |
