Anal heat sensation after defecation, management options are as follows:
1. Identify the cause: Understand the reasons for the heat sensation, which may be related to multiple factors such as colitis, irrational diet structure, anal sinusitis, colorectal polyps, perianal skin infection, hemorrhoids, anal fissure, etc.
2. Adjust diet: If caused by an irrational diet, reduce intake of spicy and greasy foods, increase consumption of high-fiber foods, fresh fruits and vegetables, drink plenty of water, and maintain regular bowel movements.
3. Medication: Depending on the underlying cause, medications such as mesalazine, antibiotic ointment, or hemorrhoid cream may be needed. For symptoms caused by intestinal flora imbalance, oral medications to regulate intestinal flora may be taken.
4. Hygiene habits: Keep the skin around the anus clean, avoid using overly irritating soap or detergent, and choose breathable, soft, and comfortable underwear.
If symptoms persist or worsen, timely medical consultation is recommended for professional diagnosis and treatment.
