What’s wrong with the itchy and swollen anus?

If you have swelling, pain and itching in the anus, it may be a sign of an acute attack of hemorrhoids and you need to go to the hospital for anorectal diagnosis and anoscopy. If the itching is due to the repeated prolapse of hemorrhoids, you can choose to wash it externally with compound bitter ginseng lotion and apply topical Ma Yinglong musk hemorrhoid cream or Eloson ointment, and also ensure that the anal area is dry, clean and hygienic. If the discharge increases, further anal plugs of hemorrhoids are needed. If localized itching of the anus due to hemorrhoids or internal hemorrhoids is ruled out, it is possible that a local mass is protruding and a perianal ultrasound is needed to rule out the possibility of a perianal abscess. If a perianal abscess is diagnosed, or if itching is caused by secretion irritation after the perianal abscess breaks down, surgical treatment is needed as soon as possible.
