The itching of the anus in pregnant women is likely a symptom caused by perianal eczema, which usually causes symptoms such as perianal itching and rash.

Analyze various objects, utensils, and chemicals that come into contact with the items for possible allergens and remove them.

The most important thing is to prevent constipation and keep the stools smooth and soft to prevent hemorrhoids from getting worse. You must also develop a habit of regular bowel movements and go to the toilet when you feel the urge to defecate. Eat more vegetables, bananas, sweet potatoes, honey, sesame oil, etc. every day. Avoid eating spicy foods. This can improve constipation and alleviate hemorrhoid symptoms. Pay attention to gently rolling the hemorrhoids back after defecation, and then pay attention to regularly practicing the anal contraction movement, which can prevent further aggravation and promote improvement.
