What causes anal sweating? Six reasons to check yourself

I believe that most people will ignore the maintenance of the anus, thinking that this place seems to have no use except defecation. But in real life, there are many anal diseases caused by neglect of maintenance, so it is recommended that you should pay attention to keeping the anus healthy. What is the reason for anal sweating?

1. Elderly or weak people

The relaxation or weakening of the anal sphincter makes the anus loose, and the intestinal mucosa secretes intestinal mucus that easily leaks out of the anus. Especially when tired, the anus becomes more damp. In view of the above situation, the contraction function of the anal sphincter should be strengthened, such as levator anus exercises in hot water sitz bath, sphincter relaxation exercises, anal massage, acupuncture of Changqiang, Yaoshu, and Huiyin points, and appropriate use of Buzhong Yiqi Decoction.

2. The sebaceous glands and sweat glands in the anus secrete vigorously

Especially for obese people, the anus is deeply sunken between the buttocks, which prevents the sweat in the skin around the anus from evaporating well, causing the anus to be often moist. Attention should be paid to the cleanliness of the anus area and keep it dry.

3. Skin diseases

Eczema, herpes, contact dermatitis, condyloma acuminatum and abscess and rupture after skin infection can all cause increased secretions in the anus. Timely and reasonable drug treatment for various causes can effectively eliminate or reduce anal damage.

4. Anal fistula

Anal fistulas are formed after abscesses around the anorectum rupture or incision and drainage. Due to repeated rupture, pus discharge, and excessive inflammatory exudation, anal fistulas are also a common cause of anal dampness. Anal fistulas usually require surgical removal to be cured.

5. Sequelae of anal surgery

For example, anal fistula or anal fissure surgery cuts or damages more external or internal sphincter muscles, causing the anus to have a reduced ability to close, and the rectal fluid is likely to overflow from the anus. Prevention is the key, and surgery should be performed as little as possible as possible to avoid damaging or cutting the sphincter. Once this happens, conservative treatment should be performed first, and sphincter contraction function should be trained. If necessary, sphincter repair or plasty should be performed.

6. Complete rectal prolapse

Anal sphincter weakness often occurs, and the entire layer of the rectum or mucosa prolapses out of the anus. The fluid expressed by the rectal mucosa will contaminate the perianal skin and cause increased secretions from the anus. Surgery is the best treatment.
