What causes a feeling of something in the anus?

The health of the anus is something that many friends often overlook. If you feel something in your anus, there are many possibilities. For example, common diseases include hemorrhoids, anal canal inflammation, hypertrophy of anal papillae, etc. These diseases are relatively common anal diseases, and their symptoms can easily cause anal discomfort, especially hemorrhoids, which can easily cause lump-like lumps, making patients feel pain or itching. If the patient shows symptoms of anal discomfort, early examination and treatment are necessary to avoid worsening of the disease, which may cause blood infection in severe cases.

1. External hemorrhoids: The main symptoms of external hemorrhoids are anal swelling, pain, and foreign body sensation. Especially for connective tissue type external hemorrhoids, skin flaps grow at the edge of the anus, gradually increase in size, and are soft in texture. There is generally no pain or bleeding, only a foreign body sensation in the anus.

2. Anal canal inflammation: Anal canal inflammation is caused by long-term fecal irritation and bad bowel habits. Repeated constipation or repeated diarrhea can cause inflammation in the anal canal. Due to the presence of inflammation, many patients have the phenomenon of holding back their bowels, so they are prone to experiencing a foreign body sensation in the anus.

3. Relaxation of rectal mucosa: Relaxation of rectal mucosa is also called internal rectal prolapse. It can be divided into stage I, stage II and stage III according to the degree of development. Its main symptoms are difficulty in defecation, swelling of the anus, and foreign body sensation in the anus.

4. Anal papilla hypertrophy: There is a hard object inside the anus. Anal papilla hypertrophy is a benign disease, which is often manifested as a white papillary tumor in the anal canal. It is hard and often multiple. The main symptom of anal papillitis is the feeling of a foreign body in the anus. As the nipple proliferates and hypertrophies, the nipple may fall out of the anus during defecation. Small nipples can return to the anus by themselves after defecation, while large nipples need to be pushed back into the anus by hand. If not repositioned in time, it may cause anal edema and swelling.
