Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Thank you for the reply.

By evaluating the symptoms, it could probably be a fissure in the anus or hemorrhoids. Clinical, physical, and visual examination is necessary for a conclusive diagnosis. These problems usually arise due to prolonged sitting, inadequate hydration, improper bowel habits, and bad food history. I suggest you follow the measures given below:

1. Avoid food like wheat bread, milk, and non-veg foods, which can make your stool become hard for months.
2. Drink lots of water at least 12.5 cups per day.
3. Include lots of fruits and fresh juice in the diet.
4. Take a big tub, fill it with warm water, pour 10 ml of 10% Povidone-Iodine solution into the warm water, and sit in it for 15 minutes twice a day. Follow this for seven days.
5. Avoid spicy food.
6. Avoid coffee.
7. Local application of cream like Proctosedyl BD (Phenylephrine, Beclometasone, and Lidocaine) can be applied externally on the anal region thrice a day and before passing stools (motion) for a week.
8. Taking stool softener like Lactulose (Duphalac) can help avoid constipation and make stool soft to pass. You can take 10 ml in the night after food for a week.
9. Do not exert too much pressure while passing stool.

   I will advise for a consultation with a general surgery specialist near your house to examine you and provide you with a conclusive diagnosis. Clinical, physical, and visual examinations are necessary to come to a conclusive diagnosis.

   I hope my advice will help you. Take good rest. Keep yourself hydrated.
