Brief Answer:
PER rectal examination is needed.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.

In that case, the possibility of piles is high.

You need to consult an expert surgeon to do a per rectal examination and locate the grading of the piles.

Stage 1 and 2 are treated by conservative management.

Stage 3 and 4 need surgery.

Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
