I've been experiencing some itching in my anal area, and it's really starting to feel like a disturbance. It's quite uncomfortable, and I'm not sure what's causing it. Could you help me understand what might be going on and suggest any ways to relieve it?

I'm dealing with a chronic constipation issue that's been ongoing for about a year now. I've been taking Lectihep syrup and Pegmove to try and fix it, but neither seems to be doing the trick.

I've been dealing with this issue for the last two years where I get this anal discharge once or twice a day. It's like a mild, transparent mucus with an odor, but it's not stool. It mostly happens after I've eaten or when I've exercised. It's not flowing a lot, just stays there, and doesnt stain my clothes, but it's making the area irritated and itchy. And because of the itching, Ive had skin abscesses on my buttock area about 3-4 times in the past year and a half. There's no pain, no constipation, and my bowel movements are regular. What could be causing this, and is there any medicine or treatment I should consider?

to determine the underlying cause of the anal discharge, which may be related to conditions like anal fistula, rectal prolapse, or gastrointestinal infections; in the meantime, maintain good anal hygiene, avoid scratching the area, consult gastroenterologist
