Question : I had NSU 3 months ago which I received antibiotics for. I have now a slight itch in my anus and feel like a need to pass a stool fairly often, are they connected?

Brief Answer:
Anal itch due to bactrial changes

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for contacting HCM

I answered your prior question about the NSU and the antibiotics. The anal itch is another manifestation of the change in your bacteria flora. I believe by resetting your bacteria with probiotics the anal itching will also resolve.

I hope this answered your question. Please contact HCM again with your health care questions and concerns
