Pressure around the anus area

For the past 3 days, I have had a feeling of incomplete bowel evacuation. Even after passing a soft stool, I feel as if some stool is still left in the rectum, causing mild pressure and discomfort near the anus. During straining, a small, soft, reddish tissue protrudes slightly from the anus, the stool passes through it, and it retracts on its own once I stop straining. A general surgeon performed a digital rectal examination and said the symptoms might be stress-related. I was prescribed Elokic 5 and Vizylac Rich. I would like to know whether this protruding tissue is a normal finding or whether it could indicate internal hemorrhoids, rectal mucosal prolapse, or another rectal condition. Should I consult another surgeon ? there is no bleeding in stool .

Help me to understand my concern

Hello Doctor, I need your opinion regarding my condition. I had been suffering from piles/fissure-related symptoms for almost 5–6 years. Finally, on 13 June, I consulted an Ayurvedic surgeon and started treatment. After around 20 days of medicines, I feel much better. Bleeding has stopped, pain is almost gone, and my doctor has stopped most of the medicines. He only advised me to continue the remaining medicines and focus on my diet. However, I am confused about the root cause. I have not been consuming fast food or junk food for the last 4–5 years. I also avoid maida, rarely consume milk or curd, drink around 5 liters of water daily, and regularly eat fruits and fiber-rich foods. So, if my diet has already been good, what could have caused this problem for so many years? Could my sedentary lifestyle, where I spend most of my day sitting or lying down with very little physical activity, be a major contributing factor? Now that I am feeling much better, can I  start gym workout and all.
