Why Do White Particles Appear on the Anus?

The anus is the part of the human body that collects the most dirt. Since the human body needs to defecate, a large number of bacteria and viruses can gather around the anus, leading to various diseases of the anus and rectum. If white particles appear around the anus, it is necessary to be vigilant as it may be related to perianal inflammation, perianal herpes, and perianal condyloma. It is essential to visit a hospital for examination and diagnosis to initiate targeted treatment as soon as possible.

The incidence of perianal inflammation is very high. When a large number of bacteria grow in the anus and are not cleaned in time, red rashes, white granular substances, itching, and a stabbing sensation may appear.

The appearance of perianal herpes can also lead to white particles around the anus. It is contagious, recurs frequently, and is difficult to cure. The symptoms of perianal herpes mainly include white granular substances and blisters around the anus, accompanied by a certain degree of pain. However, even without any treatment, it usually disappears within ten to fifteen days, but the disease is recurrent and may occur every certain period.

Perianal condyloma is a type of sexually transmitted disease related to unhygienic sexual intercourse, especially those with a history of anal intercourse. The appearance of white granular substances around the anus may indicate infection with perianal condyloma. Since perianal condyloma is a sexually transmitted disease, it can be transmitted through sexual contact, clothing, or contact. Therefore, it is crucial for patients to seek timely examination and treatment to control the condition and prevent the spread of perianal condyloma to others.
