Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
The cause for the appearance of blood in stool could be due to presence of hemorrhoids or anal fissures.
It can be presently managed conservatively. You can take Tablet. Ibuprofen, which is an analgesic medication will help to overcome pain. Glycerine ointment application will help to soothe the part.
The following measures can be taken additionally:
1. Local application Lignocaine gel, which would help to anaesthetise the area and relieve pain.
2. Taking stool softener like Isapgol Husk powder dissolved in water twice daily to relieve and prevent constipation.
3. Consuming soft and easily digestible foods, drinking good quantity of water and eating fruits and vegetables rich in dietary fibres.
By adopting to above measures, you would get relieved from symptoms.
However, it would advisable to undergo 'cryosurgery' if there is recurrence in symptoms.
You need to consult Surgeon promptly in this regard for clinical evaluation and appropriate management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
