Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and I am here to assist you.

Concerning your symptoms, it appears that you may have hemorrhoids (piles). Do you have a history of hard stool, blood during defecation, or adequate water intake? I suspect you are exhibiting features of internal hemorrhoids. Please undergo a rectal exam, and reply with the results. Meanwhile, I would suggest you follow the below recommendations:

Take syrup liquid paraffin 20ml orally three times a day.
Anusol rectal suppository (zinc oxide, bismuth oxide, bismuth subgallate, and Peru balsam) - Insert twice a day.
Consume a diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
Ensure you drink 11 cups of water daily.

I hope these suggestions are helpful.

Thank you.
