Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to hemorrhoids.
Usually alcohol can trigger the symptoms.
I suggest to do a colonoscopy to exclude other possible causes.
Meanwhile,I suggest using anti hemorrhoid cream for local application.
I recommend to avoid food and drink that can trigger the symptoms.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contappct me again.
Kind regards!
