Constipation is risk for hemorrhoids and in your case it most probably severe constipation due to lack of fibre...I would advise you take ishgulla(husk) and increase fibre diet along with 3-4 lit water intake immediately,and in case of bleeding kindly get checked with general surgeon

Hello yamini With regards to your concern Pain during passing stools indicates low fiber in diet and adding fiber to the diet can loosen up the formed stools and can reduce pain during defecation As there is no bleed there is no active fissure or fistula in ano or hemorrhoids as such Regularly take fiber diet This can correct the problem of constipation.

It seems like you’re having fissures more prominent than piles, the painful defecation, itching and urge explains that. Fissures are tiny bruises or cuts on the margins of anal region which are mostly caused by constipation, multiple frequency of stool. You also need a proper physical evaluation by a proctologist. Sitz bath with a pinch of betadine in warm water twice a day will help, As No bleeding yet lignocaine jelly can suffice for the pain Adding a laxative being ishabghul husk will be softening stool Once the irritation stops or subsides, the itching and frequency can come down in control

From my concept of view sounds like you might be experiencing symptoms suggestive of anal fissures or hemorrhoids, which can cause pain during and after defecation, itching, and a sensation of incomplete evacuation. The frequent need to visit the washroom could indicate constipation with incomplete bowel movements, which can irritate the anal region. Straining during bowel movements or passing hard stools can worsen the pain and lead to discomfort. The absence of blood is reassuring but doesn't rule out minor inflammation or irritation. To manage the symptoms, it’s important to increase your fiber and water intake to soften stools and reduce straining. Eating more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help regulate bowel movements. Over-the-counter stool softeners or mild laxatives may offer temporary relief. Warm sitz baths and topical ointments containing hydrocortisone or lidocaine can help ease the pain and itching. However, if the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional to rule out underlying conditions and receive appropriate treatment.

Dear Yamini, Here are some suggestions to help with your symptoms: • Warm Sitz Baths: Soak in warm water for 10-15 minutes, 2-3 times a day, to relieve pain and itching. • Increase Fiber: Eat more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and take psyllium husk at night to prevent constipation. • Stay Hydrated: Drink 2-3 liters of water daily. • Use OTC Creams: Apply creams with lidocaine or hemorrhoid ointments to ease discomfort. • Take Probiotics: To improve gut health and reduce bowel frequency. • Avoid Straining: Don’t sit on the toilet for long or strain too hard. If symptoms persist or worsen, it’s best to consult a gastroenterologist.

If you have the problem of passing hard stools - you are at risk of developing hemorrhoids and anal fissure , due to trauma caused while passing hard stools. Initial treatment for hard stools is always conservative and it includes taking adequate water which increases water content of your stools and taking fibre rich diet which increases bulk of stools. Do regular exercise . There are also medicines ( syrups, ointments for local application) to ease your pain and to smoothen the stools. We also advice sitz bath - which is sitting in lukewarm water with an antiseptic addded to it ( like BETADINE solution) . Once pain subsides doctor examines your anal and rectal canal and advice further treatment based on severity of issue
