Anal Itching

Anal itching is one of the most common hemorrhoids symptom, besides bleeding, this is one of the first things we associate with hemorrhoids when someone mentions them.

But we must divide between internal and external hemorrhoids symptom as each have it's own cause of itching and burning.

Cause

With internal hemorrhoids, itching and burning is caused by mucus secreted by rectal lining because it has been pulled down by constant growth of internal hemorrhoid. That mucus moistens the anus and the skin around it, causing constant irritation of the skin, which again causes itching at first and burning as condition continues to progress.

With external hemorrhoids itching and burning is caused by irritation of a very tender skin around the anus. Rubbing or cleaning around the anus may also be the cause of irritation and itching.
