Pruritus ani causes an irresistible urge to scratch that may be most noticeable and bothersome at night or after bowel movements. |
Pruritus ani is a symptom, not a final diagnosis. Various conditions may cause pruritus ani. However, in many cases the cause is not clear. This is called 'idiopathic (primary) pruritus ani' which means 'itchy anus of unknown cause'. Secondary pruritus ani can result from anatomical pathology of the anorectum such as fistulae, fissures and hemorrhoids. |
If you have symptoms and want to know if it's pruritis ani, sit in a bath of hot water, or direct hot water onto your anus when taking a shower. If it makes your anal area feel better, then you have pruritis ani. If you have hemorrhoids, you won't feel much of anything-hemorrhoids are on the inside of the body, and fairly insensitive. However, some people have a combination of hemorrhoids and pruritis. |
There are various causes of pruritus ani which include the following. |
-
Inflamed anal skin is a common cause (a localised dermatitis). The inflammation is usually due to the skin 'reacting' to small amounts of faeces (sometimes called stools or motions) left on the skin, and/or to sweat and moisture around the anus. Young children who may not wipe themselves properly, adults with sweaty jobs, and adults with a lot of hair round their anus may be especially prone to this.
-
Thrush and fungal infections. These germs like it best in moist, warm, airless areas, such as around the anus. Thrush is more common in people with diabetes.
-
Other infections such as scabies, herpes, anal warts and some other sexually transmitted diseases can cause itch around the anus. You are likely to have other symptoms too such as a rash, lump or discharge.
-
Some diseases can cause generalised itch, which may seem more intense around the anus at times. For example, lymphoma, renal failure, iron deficiency anaemia, hyperthyroidism. With these conditions you are likely to be unwell with other symptoms too.
-
Skin conditions may also affect the skin around the anus to cause itch. For example, eczema, psoriasis, lichen sclerosus and seborrhoeic dermatitis.
-
Anal fissure. This is a small crack in the anal skin. It is usually painful as well as itchy.
-
Haemorrhoids (piles).
-
Threadworms are a common cause. Threadworms live in the gut and lay eggs around the anus which cause itch. Children may pass them on to adults in the same home. Consider this cause particularly if there is more than one person in the home with an itchy bottom.
-
Irritants. Some soaps, perfumes, creams, ointments, or the dye in some toilet tissue may sensitise (irritate) the skin around the anus in some people. You may be 'allergic' to one or more of the ingredients in these products.
-
Some foods are not fully digested and may sensitise the skin around the anus after going to the toilet to pass faeces. These include: citrus fruits, grapes, tomatoes, spices, and drinking large amounts of beer, milk, tea, or coffee.
-
Some medicines may pass through the gut and leak onto the anal skin and cause itch as a side-effect. For example, laxatives, colpermin, and some antibiotics.
-
A tumour of the anus or rectum is a rare cause of itch around the anus.
