What Causes Strange Stool Odour After Consuming Alcohol With Pain In Anus?
Question: I'd like to know why my stool smells like ammonia atfer drinking alcohol? It's always the following day and I don't eat much when drinking either. The other more embarrassing symptom is a painful, itchy and damp anus. The pain can be intense at times and is very uncomfortable most days. I had a endoscopy done about 12 months ago and nothing serious was found. I'm really distressed about this condition and would do anything for it to go away.

Hello
Welcome to health care magic, I had gone through your question and I will definitely help you in best possible way.
At the outset I would like further information for better assessment of the condition like
your age and relevant medical history
Since how long you are having this problem?
How much do you drink and since how long
Have you ordered any investigation or seen a doctor?
I would advise you for a battery of tests like CBC, Liver function test, blood urea, serum creatinine, stool test and an ultrasound abdomen.
In my opinion you should eat something after drinking and take plenty of fluids during or after the drinking to maintain good hydration.
Meanwhile you can use lignocaine gel for itchy and painful an is as well laxatives to avoid constipation
Please write back to with all these details so that I will be able to tell you more accurately.
Best wishes
