General Surgeon,  's  Response
Respected user, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly.
* It is most probably a hemorrhoid .
* Hemorrhoid occurs due to excessive pressure over anal canal wall usually
due to hard stools / straining .
* Requires consultation with General Surgeon & proctoscopy examination to
confirm the diagnosis of it.
* Take necessary precautions at home for better management of it .
- manage diet to have smooth evacuation daily as green leafy vegetables,
cereals , legumes , pulses , plenty of liquids , curd etc.
- avoid all oily / spicy / non vegetarian stuffs / junk foods
- Sitz bath ( sitting in tub filled with lukewarm water for 10-10 minutes
morning & evening & specially after passing stool ) help a lot
- avoid smoking / alcohol
- avoid stress / anxiety
- avoid sitting prolong on hard surfaces
- Local application of Xylocaine (2%) jelly 2-3 times/ day
- Amla , Triphala , Isabghula husk are best herbal supporters .
Hope this helps you.
