Internal Medicine Specialist 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
With the available described symptoms, there could be possibility of Anal fissure or thrombosed piles.
You should consult with internal medicine specialist/ general surgeon and should go for thorough check up.
You should also go for complete blood count, blood sugar, serum electrolytes, and thyroid profile.
You should take plenty of water, high fibre diet and laxatives containing lactitol and isapgula.
You should perform increased physical activity to maintain gastrointestinal mobility.
You should also go for colonoscopy for better clarification, if not corrected after this treatment.
Take care,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava
