Your symptoms are suggestive of hemorrhoids. I would advise you to meet a general surgeon so that you can be examined and graded, the choice of treatment has to be decided by the stage of the hemorrhoids. You will need laxatives and topical corticosteroid cream to control the current situation. These following steps may help:
- Do not strain during bowel movements
- Reduce weight as per your BMI(Maintain a healthy weight as per your BMI)
- Exercise regularly (30-45mins per day)
- Eat food rich in fiber and bran based cereals
- Have laxatives for strain to be reduced during bowel movements
Next Steps
Follow the steps as advised
