Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello, I have been having what I believe is hemorrhoids for about one year. What I feel is a pressure when I sit down for extended amounts of time. I don t feel pain or anything when I go to the bathroom. I have tried using creams like preparation H and anusol but it does not seem to work. I checked today and there seems to be a purple ring around the anus that is a bit painful to the touch. Thanks!
It sounds like you have venous congestion in the anal area probably painless internal hemorrhoids. A high fiber diet is essential more fruits vegetables and whole grains. Please consider a heaping tsp of psyllium in 8 oz water once daily. you should begin having easier bowel movement and lee=ss pressure in the area.
