Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to an anal fistula.
The treatment usually consists of surgery.
Meanwhile, I suggest using daily probiotics and eat a fiber-rich diet to avoid constipation.
I also suggest drinking liquids.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
