Prostatitis and Anal Itch...?

marcl2001 · Post by **marcl2001** » Wed Dec 10, 2003 3:08 am

Would there be some kind of association between having anal itch first for 3 to 4 weeks, then directly followed by prostatitis?...if it is that...also, is it made worse by alcohol, spicey foods, and being out in the cold weather...

thanks...

I think there is definitely some sort of association, although THIS IS NOT MEDICAL FACT, JUST MY HUNCH.

I had very bad anal itching for about a month just after I developed chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome for the first time. I put the phenomenon down to some sort of vascular inflammation which had broadened out from my penis/scrotum/prostate. Itching was only part of the problem; often I had pain around my backside which felt qualitatively IDENTICAL to my chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome pain.

Yeah the anal itching is a big one on my list also . My CP acts up this time of year , starts with aching groin and anal itching .....not fun .

Ditto for me too. Also my flareups are worse this time of year. I pretty much went all summer without a problem. Same last winter too. Also, something interesting that I notice is that most of the pain is on the right side-the burning is on the right, scrotum pain and rectal itching. Another interesting thing about me is that whenever I have "stress related" pain -eg stomache or migraines, they are also on the right side of my body. It seems the right side of my body gets 90% of the pain whenever I am stressed!

Guys,

DO you feel you flare up more during winter season cause of the cold weather?

Not sure what the reason is for the winter flarups- dry air,cold, or lack of sunlight?

When my prostatitis is particularly bad, I have a lot of burning/itching for about 20-30 minutes after I have a bowel movement. When things aren't so bad, this usually disappears.

When you guys refer to anal itch, are you guys refering to the area closest to the surface of your body or are you guys refering to an itch that is found more inside your body's??

Sorry for this Question but its started to bother me!!

Not that I want everybody examining the color of their stooles but I was curious if you are noticing a lighter colour and perhaps softer stooles when you defacate?????
