Brief Answer:
As detailed below.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your feedback.
Sorry to say that the photos are not opening, may be some technical problems, already wrote to the office.
As per the detailed history you have provided my opinion is as follows: (photos awaited - please try to upload again, preferably in JPEG format)
Your history is for long, 16 years. This indicates that you have hemorrhoids that need to be treated specifically as per the grading and other symptoms and findings on per-rectal digital examination, ano-proctoscopy and colonoscopy.
These things needs to be done to know the exact diagnosis, its grade or severity, to decide whether medicines would help or only surgery of some sort will cure you.
Constipation needs to be addressed well with stool softeners and laxatives, the choice and doses needs to be decided on trial and to continue the one that gives the best results to keep the stools soft.
Occasional pain, fullness in anus and irritation while passing stool indicate a possibility of an added anal fissure.
Sitz bath in a tub with warm water may help for symptomatic relief.

I hope this answer helps you.
Please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
Waiting to see the photos.
