Brief Answer:
Suggestions below.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
If you are having piles and bleeding, it may be due to constipation or damage of anal mucosa due to hard stools.
I would suggest you
Sitz bath: take hot water in a tub and add betadine solution, cover your anal area and sit for 15-20 minutes twice a day if possible thrice a day. It will reduce bleeding and helpful for healing.
Continue anovate cream. Wash the anal area with mild soap, XXXXXXX dry and apply the gel after bowel movement and at bedtime.
Benefiber 2 tsp twice a day.
You should prevent constipation by eating healthy food, which contains fiber.
Avoid spicy, fatty, heavy meals and meat.
Avoid smoking if you smoke.
If your symptoms persist, I would suggest you visit a general surgeon for clinical and physical examination to know about degree of hemorrhoids. Treatment (medical or surgical) can be decided by surgeon.
Hope I have answered your query.
If you have any queries, I will be happy to help you.
Thank you.
