Brief Answer:
anal fissure

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your description, the stmptomy you describe sound like a anal tissue which is a small cut in the anal canal due to passage of hard stools.
I suggest the following
1. Psyllium husk (Naturolax) with water daily
2 xylocaine ointment for local application
3 sitting in a tub for lukewarm water for five minutes twice a day . this will reduce the pain and cause early healing. You should stop using povidone.
Please consult your doctor to get a rectal exam to confirm the presence of a fissure
Hope this helps
Regards
Dr Samir Patil
