Definition. Anal itching is a common condition. The itch, situated in or around your anus, is often intense and may be accompanied by a strong urge to scratch. You may find anal itching to be embarrassing and uncomfortable. Also called pruritus ani (proo-RIE-tus A-nie), anal itching has many possible causes, such as skin problems, hemorrhoids, and washing too much or not enough. If anal itching is persistent, talk with your doctor. With proper treatment and self-care measures, most people get complete relief from anal itching.
Itâs possible to tip the scale between 5â15 pounds if you donât eat for 3 days. Of course, most of this is body fluid. As soon as you start eating again, it will come right back. If you return to a modified, reduced calorie diet you may be able to keep 1â2 pounds off.

Research from the National Institute of Health indicates that you have to burn 7,000 calories for each pound of fat that you want to get rid of. A new Body Weigh Planner calculator based on that research is available at this link.
