Anal itching and rectal bleeding may be caused by anal fissures, hemorrhoids, perianal abscesses, colorectal cancer, or rectal polyps. All of these conditions can lead to rectal bleeding and pruritus. Patients are advised to seek timely evaluation at a qualified medical institution. In daily life, patients should maintain a light diet and consume more high-fiber foods, such as corn and oats.
