Hi there....
Thanks for writing in.....
The possibilities I can think of are haemorrhoids/piles, anal fissures or boils.
In all cases as a common measure, the first thing to do is avoid constipation by having a diet rich in fibre like fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains like whole wheat , oats etc. Drink plenty of water , atleast 8-10 glasses of water a day.
If it is a boil, hot fomentation might help.
Do visit a proctologist for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
Hope this helps.

Dr. Divya Kuttikrishnan
