Hello,my name is Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi.
I understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to hemorrhoids.
Some advices that I can give to you are:
-Apply an over-the-counter hemorrhoid cream or suppository containing hydrocortisone
-use pads containing witch hazel or a numbing agent.
- Soak regularly in a warm bath or sitz bath.
Hope it helps.
Kind regards!
