What causes irritation of the anus. Is it from too much dairy / caffeine in ones diet.?

The main reason for this is you didn't clean the anus enough after bowel movements.  I doubt that your diet causes this in any way.\n\nYou must clean with warm water, liquid soap, and dry with paper till paper comes back CLEAN.   \n\nthereafter you will not have an itchy anus anymore.  I promise you.

Not enough to go on info wise. Could be an ulcer, could also be allergy or toxic intolerance. Either way it is fixable bit to be sure go see a doctor or Naturopath and get seen to properly.\n\ncraig - Naturopath.

I think dairy products contain calcium. Calcium does something to the acid pump in your stomach, not sure exactly, but I think it produces more acid and aggravates the ulcer. Caffeine does the same. Careful with aspirin products, caffeine, spicy foods, and fats. Do a google search on Calcium and peptic ulcer disease.

It might be for you. Usually dairy products, nuts and cholocolate can act as a trigger. I find bad smells affect me. It is important to notice what foods to oavoid and limit, in your case coconut. It wasn't chocolate covered coconut was it? It might be the choloclate taht troubles you.

Ate something wrong? Heck no, its plant pigment & fiber in your diet. It happens when you are eating large amount of greenish plants.\n\nIts harmless. I occasionally have it since I'm a vegan.

You may have an irritated blatter. Drinking coffee and tea can do this , I get it when I drink too much coffee or tea and not enough water.. I did not have infection or any disease. You should get checked out by Dr. I drink Cranberry juice ans stay off the caffine.

I have IBS and I do a Castor oil cleansing one weekend a month and have much fewer problems for the other three weeks. I start by inserting two bisacodyl suppositories and then drinking four ounces of Castor oil. In about an hour I am having flush bowel movements. I take six dulcolax pills. Be sure to drink at least 8 to 10 ounces of water or more an hour while doing this. This process will make you go until what come out is clear. After doing this eat lightly for a few day and include yogurt to put a good flora in your system. I know many people will disagree with this but it works great for me. People are always afraid of what they have not tried or is not common practice!!!

How weird, my mom just had this, and I had never heard about it before that. All the above is correct, but I just wanted to add that you ought to get it treated soon and change your diet around accordingly. My mom almost died from it, which is unheard of, and she ended up having a foot of intestine being taken out. Watch out! It can get pretty damn serious.

If you find out let me know. Stress doesn't cause it but it can trigger an episode. the best thing for colon health is fiber. Oat bran, 100%whole wheat bread, because it keeps things moving and the stool doesn't linger to worsen the ulcers. I can eat vegetables but they have to be steamed, fruit bothers me.  Like my MD says you have to try to figure out what foods aggravate it.  sometimes a food will bother me and another time it won't. I can't eat any dairy.  I'm out of work on disability for the third time due to my ulcerative colitis. The only medicines that worked had such awful side effects that new health problems were created.  Good luck...I know how awful it can get.

First, lotions, oils, body soaps, Vaseline, etc, have admonitions that they are "For External Use Only" on a lot of them and you should take the word "external" literally. \n\nIn addition most may cause irritation to mucous membranes. \n\nIn addition, many lubricants are not made to be ingested and may be harmful if swallowed, so try to avoid getting lubricants in your mouth (unless of course you are using a food item such as whipped cream as a lubricant). And there is no telling what kind of sex you all may be doing...so skip the body soap please.

Yes, there is a problem called " gay bowel disease" caused by insertion of  objects into the anus. It is caused by tearing of the  bowel wall because the anus is an exit not an entrance.This problem can lead to serious health issues in later life.

Burning after bowel movements is usually due to anal fissures(a rip or tear in the skin) or external hemorrhoids.  They pain can definitely be aggrivated if you are sensitive to spicy foods.  You should have a high fiber diet with plenty of water and avoid foods that make you constipated to promote soft stools and allow your anus time to heal.\n\nIf it is very concerning for you then you should definitely go see your doctor.

Most likely it is some form of indigestion.  One that comes to mind is lactose intolerance, because the same thing happens to me when I drink milk, eat ice cream, or anything like that.  (It's only been the last few months.)\n\nBut if it has gone on for 3 days, you need to see a doctor.  There are other possibilities, some of which are more serious and definitely require treatment.  Only a doctor can tell you whether it is anything that needs to be treated.

The short answer is "no".  At a quick perusal, herballove.com seems to be a website dedicated to providing accurate, medical information about sexual dysfunctions, with the answers given by physicians.  The problem is many of the problems they address aren't medical problems, and most of what the experts say is complete nonsense (and I'm being very polite by not simply labeling it the browner parts of what comes out of the back end of a cow here).\n\nFor instance, there's no such thing as "overmasturbation"... and "leaky penis"?  I can only assume they're referring to the penis expelling some sort of pre-seminal fluid during sexual arousal (which is what they suggest it is).  I know lots of men who would suddenly complain of this problem if it was one.  Of course, it's not.  This "problem" is actually a perfectly normal function of the penis during intercourse, and there are several anatomical structures built into male anatomy (such as the cowper's gland) which are specifically designed to release pre-ejaculatory fluid, partially to neutralize the acidic pH of the urine present in the urethra and make the environment safer for sperm to pass through.  Not only is that "problem" not a problem, it's a sign your sexual anatomy is perfectly healthy and functioning normallly.\n\nTheir products, much like the some of the problems they are designed to address, make no sense.  If you read the ingredients, the first half of quite a few turn out to be nothing more than run of the mill multi-vitamins, which won't do you any harm under normal circumstances, but you might as well pay the two or three dollars and pop a Flintstone's chewable every day and be done with it if that's what you're after, and it should be noted in the case of vitamin A, E, and K... all of these vitamins are fat-soluble and can build up in your bodily tissues, eventually leading to toxic poisoning if you take high doses of them, so you shouldn't consume multiple supplements containing those vitamins, that even modest amounts of vitamin E can be dangerous if you have a cardiovascular condition and are on a standard regimen of anti-platelet aggregates to combat the problem (such as aspirin plus cumadin, warfarin, etc) and that if you smoke, you shouldn't take beta carotene, either, since it's been shown to significantly increase the risk of cancer in smokers.\n\nHerballove doesn't seem to address any of those concerns while being so informed and concerned about your health.\n\nAs for the "harmonizing herbal extract blend", none of it has FDA approval not because the FDA is biased against natural remedies (after all, a large percentage of drugs approved by the FDA are taken from botanical sources, which means they are, in essence, herbal extracts that passed scientific muster), but because these herbs have been shown time and time again, when you put them through standard medical testing, to do absolutely nothing.\n\nEven if they did have a positive effect on their own, quite a few have no business in the same formula with one another in quantities which could have an effect, and none probably appear in quantities sufficient to do anything but fill up a capsule and make it smell a bit funny.\n\nFor instance, saw palmetto, soy protein, and black cohosh all appear in their ViaGrowth III formula which is intended to stop that pesky "leaky penis".  The problem is all three of those ingredients are believed to aid primarily females because all three are supposed to be a sort of natural estrogen... not something you would want in an herbal remedy for a male problem (with the exception of saw palmetto, which is supposed to help with enlarged prostate... and I assure you an enlarged prostate won't lead to your penis leaking... if anything, it will prevent your penis from leaking enough, like, say, when you need to pee).  Siberian Ginseng is als

It could be a UTI or nongonococcal urethritis, but most of the time in men it is a more aggressive infection like gonorrhea.  Men have a longer "tube" for organisms to crawl up to get to the bladder, so men don't get UTI's like women do after sex nearly as often.\n\nMen and women can carry gonorrhea and be asymptomatic, so your partner may not know she has this either.\n\nI would go to the doctor and find out what the infection is and get antibiotics.  Then I would tell your partner to get treated as well so you don't get reinfected.\n\nI see that you don't say you're in pain, but if it is bugging you that bad to ask this question I am assuming you have discomfort.  If you don't have discomfort, well, then you could just be drinking more coffee than normal.  Cut the caffeine in that instance and see if it stops.

The body needs fiber, water, and exercise to stimulate peristalsis (the wave like contractions that move the fecal matter down) in a healthy manner. If your body was previously used to high fat foods then the peristalsis may have been happening due to the irritation of the lining of the GI tract.\n\nThe best thing you can do...drink more water and either add some fiber to your diet or take a fiber supplement!\n\nGood Luck\n\nPost back if you need additional information
