Question

My child has to defecate twice a day with little output. When they feel the urge to defecate, their anus itches. What is the issue? Previous treatment and outcome: Don’t know what to do. Desired assistance: Want to know what the problem is and how to treat and cure it.

Answer

The primary consideration here is likely Spleen and stomach weak (weak spleen and stomach). The recommended treatment is to drink traditional Chinese medicine, focusing on stopping diarrhea and strengthening the spleen and stomach. At the same time, be mindful of your diet and avoid spicy or irritating food. Pay attention to the hygiene of the perineum. Exclude the possibility of rectal inflammation. It is suggested to visit a gastroenterology clinic at a hospital for an examination, and also undergo an electronic colonoscopy or rectal examination to rule out conditions such as ulcers or polyps, then proceed with anti-inflammatory treatment based on the specific cause, and seek further advice.
