Its a hemorrhoid.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic for your query.
I've gone through your details.
I am a Gastroenterologist and would be addressing your concerns.
As per your queries answers are-
As per your history your case appears to be grade 4 hemorrhoid (i.e.hemorrhoids prolapse and usually require manual reduction).
Hemorrhoid in physiological state act as a cushion composed of arterio-venous channels and connective tissue in the rectum that aid the passage of stool, but due to excess pressure in the abdominal area or pelvic area blood vessels near the anus are engorged and swollen and their walls becomes stretched, thin and irritated by passing stool.
As per the protocol stage 1 to 3 are managed conservatively while surgery is done on stage 4 hemorrhoid.
Suggestion for management are
Rubber bands ligation- inexpensive and are easy to deploy. It's a daycare procedure usually done under local anesthesia. The success rate varies from about 70-80%.
Strict lifestyle modification should be followed along with medications-
Take simple organic and vegetarian home cooked low-fat food for few days.
Avoid alcohol, smoking aerated beverages, junk food like pizza burger etc.
Take lots of probiotic rich food like yogurt.
Increase your fiber intake take oats, wheat, barley, vegetable and fruit like Pear, apple, and oranges.
No aerated beverages.
Take fiber containing easily digestible food.
Avoid red meat.
Drink a glass of lukewarm water before going to the washroom in morning.
take Sitz bath.
Go for general examination of hemorrhoid by a surgeon.
Hope I provided you with the information you wanted.
In case you need further advice feel free to ask.
