Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

Dear Mr XXXXXXX

Pain in anal region especially at time of passing stools is likely to be due to anal fissure. I would suggest you the following

1. Hot Seitz bath : To a tub of lukewarm water add 2 spoon of antiseptic solution. Sit in it For 15 to 20 minutes each session twice a day.

2. Laxatives like Lactulose will ensure soft stool

3. Local application of Nifedipine ointment will relax muscle and help in healing of anal fissure.
Apply it twice a day

4. Local application of local anaesthetic ointment before passing stools will help relieve pain while passing stools

Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.

Wishing you and your family a very happy and healthy life.

Take care

Dear Mr XXXXXXX

Laxatives which I have advised is available as over the counter medication and can be easily procured. Hot seitz bath and laxative will help in evacuation of stools. Nitrogesic ointment or Nifedepin ointment is also easily available in pharmacist as over the counter medication.
Also do consume plenty of water which will help in softening of stools.
