Many people think they're suffering from hemorrhoids. In this case a hemorrhoid operation won't relieve the symptoms. Anusitis is an inflamed area just inside the anus. Most patients complain of a small amount of discharge around the anal area. This constant wetness soaks the skin causing multiple tiny cracks, which in turn trigger itching.
Patients also complain of a burning sensation inside and outside the anus.
There's no swelling, but blood is often found on toilet paper and occasionally bleeding occurs. Inserting a finger into the anus causes pain. It's been used for sports injuries for years. But now it can also be used for treating anusitis. It's inserted into the rectum like a rectal suppository after being cooled in a freezer for a minimum of one hour.
