What Causes Sever Itching In The Anus With Blood In Stools?
Hello, for about two and a half months i have had anal itching and bloody stools. The blood is maroon in color, but it is with every bowl movement. I have no pain, no fever, and i eat normal. This all started after a family member tested positive for typhoid fever. The doctor here recomended i take the same meds because i was also tested for typhoid fever, me and my family member never got sick, just had positive test. The meds i took after the test is when my itching and bleeding began. I think the meds did something to my GI trac. Is this possible? Thank you

Hello,
The possible issue here seems to be anal fissure which is caused by medicines given for typhoid fever.
