Suggest Treatment For Gastritis , Constipation And Itchiness In The Anus

I currently have gas, am constipated, and worst of all anal itching (almost unbearable). Over the last two weeks, my symptoms have worsened. It does not seem to be piles, not protruding anyway, and the itching is not just at night, it comes and goes throughout the day. I am currently finishing off an antibotic prescription, which is treating a UTI; could this be causing my issues? Could I have a yeast infection brewing within the vaginal/anal area? Any feedback would help emensely. Thanks!

Hi.
Thanks for an elucidate history.
Gas, constipation, anal itching are suggestive of an intestinal infection and might not have been caused by the antibiotics you are taking for urinary tract infection.
I would advise you the following:
Get stool tests done on 3 consecutive days.
Other tests of blood and urine as needed including that for diabetes and thyroid function tests.
Get a course of an antibiotic active against intestinal infection and yeast infection, anti-fungal tablet and metronidazole. Take pre and probiotics, curds, banana and activated charcoal tablets along with PPI like Omeprazole.
I hope this treatment will cure your intestinal problems.
Locally keep the area well washed with plain water and keep dry with hair dryer.
Apply liquid betadine twice day.
Have sitz bath if required.
I hope this answer helps you.
