Hi, I Am A 25yrs Old Male And I Am

Hi,

I am a 25yrs old male and I am having issue with internal and External Hemorrhoids. Last time I checked with my physician she said there is no issue and to take less time during defecation. I don't think she understood my problem completely.

I generally use my finger to defecate everyday with lots of water. Also I sit up on pot so that its easier to defecate. Lately I have started having trouble with my hemorrhoids and when I finger my anus it hurts.

Two things I would like to ask:
1. Is there an ointment I can use daily so that I don't hurt my anus with my finger ?
2. I do want to get rid of this habit but this habit is like more than 10 years old and I got it in my early 20's. What should I do. Please don't say just try not to or a placebo. Should I take some therapy or anything else ?? Is there no way to get rid of this in my lifetime ? I have an incomplete and dirty feeling if I don't finger and take out all the fecal.

Please advice.
