Could Grade 1-2 Hemorrhoids Cause Chronic Anal Itching?
Patient's Query
Dear Doctor, Could a one-time irritation of previously asymptomatic internal hemorrhoids of grade 1 or 2 cause anal itching that would appear only 5 weeks after the irritation and develop into chronic itching persisting for several years? This concerns a 25-year-old young person. Is there any direct or indirect mechanism for this, or is it impossible? Thank you for your response, and I wish you all the best.
Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar
In cases of non-recurrent, minor (grade 1 or 2) internal hemorrhoids it is quite likely that a protruding vein may cause an itch that will appear a few weeks later and will become chronic over time. This may happen due to irritation and skin sensitivity around the region. Itchy hemorrhoids can be effectively relieved by dipping over-the-counter topical creams and gels specifically made for hemorrhoid use. Also, practice good hygiene and think about making some dietary adjustments to avoid constipation.
