Reply to ""Butt Burn" in anal canal"

Hi Hattie,

I understand your concerns. I also suffer from occasional burning and itching in the lower anal canal. When this occurs I need to sit on the bidet and manually cleanse that area while the warm water is hitting that area. It’s not ideal, but if I am gentle, it gets the job done. I mentioned this to my surgeon during my final follow up visit and he suggested warm water enemas to help cleanse the area.

my understanding of future cancer risk as it relates to 2cm rectal cuff is that we are low risk. My layman’s understanding is that long term IBD inflammation is the precursor to low/high grade dysplasia which is the precursor to CRC. I think we would  need biopsies from that area to show ongoing disease which if left untreated could cause problems down the road. I personally do not worry that my anal canal irritation will cause future CRC risk.
