Hemorrhoids

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

From the description you have given me it looks like you are suffering from hemorrhoids. Here is what you should do

1. Follow a high fibre diet full of green leafy vegetables and fruits
2. Drink plenty of water, atleast 8 glasses a day
3. Avoid straining, I recommend syp lactulose 10ml twice a day. You can go up to 30ml
4. Please approach a gastroenterologist for examination and treatment. Do not neglect this any further. It requires immediate attention

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me

Regards
