Itching and burning rectal area after bowel movements, incre

I've had this same problem - burning/stinging bm's and cramping afterward that lasts for 6 hours as well as UTI-like pain with no actual bacterial infection.  I am convinced it is yeast overgrowth.  Cut down on sugars (which feed the yeast) and start taking a probiotic like Culturelle, which my doctor recommended. It will do wonders!  I am back to normal after doing all this!  You can also have yeast overgrowth in your bladder, leading to UTI's, although most doctors who don't test for yeast will say you don't have a UTI because they can't find any causative bacteria.  Yeast is not bacteria.   Itching between toes = yeast (athlete's foot).  So many problems can be caused by yeast!  

I am convinced that my rectal itch symptoms are a direct result of my H-PYLORI infection.  The bacterium produces chemicals to make it better able to handle the acidic environment of the stomach... I think the rectum is allergic to these bacteria by-products...(and please don't say it's the toilet paper) The specialist told me it looked just like an allergic reaction.  The only time I have had no symptoms and a normal rectum was during and after taking the triple anti-biotic to kill the bacteria-- too bad I've had a re-currence.  I told this to the specialist and he said it's a coincidence!  There went my confidence in him... To me, it's obvious...

i recently moved area and alongside a slight change of diet now have very acidi stools now and then. I persoanlly blame my sudden lack of a lot of vegetables but find for me that talcum powder works well. talc is basic and so neutralsies acid from the stools. Otherwise I just make sure im clean with toilet paper and then a wet toilet paper bundle. 

Ouch, this'll be a hard one. I love peanuts...thanks for this response I'll stop eating peanuts. This condition is irritating to say the least.

I have similar issue for the past 2 yrs. Doctors couldnt find anything in colonoscopy. please share if you guys were able to find the name or medication.

I have been dealing with this issue for a few years now. It began with severe itching but now within the last year it has become severe itching followed by extreme burning and irritation after every bowel movement. It has become a real burden especially while at work. I don't know what to do. 

I'd been reading this page because I have a peanut allergy, had been exposed to peanut oil yesterday, and as a result spent all day with a serious rash, in addition to a serious burning when I do number 2. I was wondering if the burning is related to peanut consumption, and apparently it is. Hope you have remained symptom free.

ok, i've been having some of the same issues .. which i see a lot of us have .. is it normal for me, being 17 years old having a burning, itching sensation sometimes during, mostly AFTER having a bowel movement? it bothers me for HOURS even though i bathe right afterwards. My skin crawls, i get EXTREMELY uncomfortable and irritated .. i just lay in my bed and try to sleep through the symptoms .. I don't have any blood in my stool .. i've asked mom .. she has hemorrhoids .. and she said that maybe i have one .. i know for a fact that i haven't always had this issue until recently this year .. i watched the Doctors and Dr Oz and on there they have said to not push during bowel movements .. bc that would eventually cause a hemorrhoid if you strain too much .. i try not to, but it's hard, bc it's like an automatic thing .. but anyway .. here i am on the internet hoping to find answers .. but i guess it's best if i go to my doctor about this issue and see what she says .. 

 

Dear if you found the solution or any effective medicine so please reply to me. I have the same problem.

 I suffered with the same issue for about 2 years. I tried everything from diaper rash cream to wiping with wet wipes. The only 100% cure I have found is washing with a soapy wash  cloth after every bowel movement. Since using this solution, I have not had that problem at all.

for me, washing the area with a soapy wash cloth after every bowel movement has been the solution. I have not had the issue at all since I started this. You just have to be sure that as you're washing that the cloth sort of gets up inside the rectum so the inside gets clean.

a number of health problems especially those involving the gastrointestinal system are known to cause problems around the anus. Diarrhoea and constipation are one of the main causes. While passing a hard stool and straining small tears of the anal skin occur which creates problems. Piles and skin tags are another cause for irritation. A fistula around the anus oozes a discharge, which can keep the area moist and promote itching.

I started having the same problem around 5 months ago, and I found that my anus got so painfully itchy even after showers and creams, and especially after wiping.  I went to the Dr and he kept prescribing me different creams, to try and help, one of them just made it hurt so bad that it was hard to walk.  But I also was noticing that my stool was starting to get weaker and smaller and heavy that sank to the bottom.  So I figured I needed to take more fiber, I bought a can of psyllium husk which is a high fiber mixture.  And because of that I was taking bigger fuller stools again, and my anal itching disappeared 100%, but I noticed my body will quickly go back to having bad stool and a itchy anus if I go a few days without the fiber drinks.  I wish I could say that this is all the cure you will need, but I dont know, its just mine for the moment.  But it has been an eye opener that I need to improve my diet, as im sure my system is just ripped up on the inside, im not even fat either I am 6'1 and 190lbs, so im average, and im 30 years old.  I want to get a professional colon cleansing, but I live in a city that does not offer that.  So until I get one out of town, I will keep using the fiber.

I had the same , horrifying episode ( 3 months ) , and have a long story , that I will not bore you with . After 2 General Doctors , 1 Proctologyst , all had different opinions ! 2 out of 4 Doctors , don't even understand it .
Drum roll please :
ANAL YEAST INFECTION , COUPLED WITH A URINARY INFECTION ! ( as a Man , I didn't think it was possible to get !?! )The symptoms mimick too many butt illnesses , go figure ! Look into it , live life to the fullest , and drink lots of water !!! Garlic , I hear , is a great natural anti-fungal . With-out the internet , the Doctors would be swamped !
Thank you , for sponsoring this site , and for this opertunity , to help others !

I took a large daily dose of Prilosec for several years for gastritis I stopped using it suddenly. my stomach awoke me in severe pain. I started eating tums wholesale and alka seltzers. my rectum started buring like fire after bowel movements. I thought the same as you here i'm just producing so much acid it is burning like hell exiting my body and there is a lot of the clear icky stuff your colon produces to protect itself. im going back on Prilosec.
