I am 23 years old female I generally have constipation problem, but today I saw blood in my stool and after that there is itchiness around my anus area.

Question

Constipation itself and hard stools are main causes of bleeding. Drinking plenty of water about 8-10 glasses every day, consuming more fibre like fruits, vegetables, multi grains diet etc along with stool softeners or lubricants like liquid paraffin or bulk forming drugs like isabgul powders will help. Local creams like practosedyl oint application to affected part may stop itching. If this does not help consult general surgeon or proctologist for further tests, diagnosis and management.

I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing these symptoms. Blood in the stool and anal itching can be a sign of several different conditions, and it's important to speak with a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment. One possible cause of blood in the stool and anal itching is hemorrhoids, which are swollen veins in the anus or lower rectum. Hemorrhoids can be caused by constipation or straining during bowel movements. Other possible causes include anal fissures, infections, or inflammatory bowel disease. It is important to maintain good hygiene and avoid scratching the affected area, as this can make the symptoms worse and increase the risk of infection. Over-the-counter creams or ointments may provide some relief for itching, but it's important to speak with a healthcare provider before using any medications. As a healthcare professional, I would recommend that you schedule an appointment with me for a consultation. During our consultation, I will ask you detailed questions about your medical history and symptoms. Based on this information, I can provide you with a proper diagnosis and develop a personalized treatment plan to address your symptoms.
