Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query on this forum.

As per the description given by you there are three possibilities,

1)It can be a peri anal or rectal abscess.It is a painful condition in which wound develops near the anus. Most anal or rectal abscesses are a result of infection from small anal glands. The most common type of ana abscess is a perianal abscess.

2) It can be a Anal fistula,it is a chronic abnormal communication between the epithelialised surface of the anal canal and the perianal skin,In a lay mans language it is breach of external skin and this breach results in direct communication of your anal canal with external enviroment and pathogens.It can be a potential source of infection if left untreated.Its just like a open wound where skin is breached this break in the skin provides a route for the germs to travel from the outside to the inside.

3)A pilonidal sinus is a small hole in the skin near anus.Most commonly located near anus. More than one hole may develop, and often these are linked by tunnels under the skin.More common in people with lots of hairs around anual hole.

Hello again XXXXXXX
Sorry for a bit late reply.

Have gone through your photos,They are Hemorhoids.
Let me just give you a briefing about hemorrhoids initially.

Usually Hemorrhoids come due to in take of heavy, spicy, non veg foods. These foods get lot of time for digestion and one gets dull for prolonged time.In non medical language, the Liver gets hang, causing improper metabolism and gets congested. This causes to pooling of blood in the rectal vein, engorged and protrudes to anal canal. While on passing stool, it gets friction and ruptured resulting bleeding.These engorged veins are termed as hemorrhoids.

First step in management is-
Drastic life style change.
Maintain your food habits. Take simple and easily digesting veg. Food, daily. Cut shot spicy, oily bakery foods and junk foods. Include fiber rich food in diet.Proper exercise, walking helps to maintain physical fitness. Avoid heavy and late night foods, cut shot all stimulants if any. Be to bed in proper time. Take 8 glass of water daily morning.

Don't Strain during bowel movements,Can take Metamucil daily before going to bed to add mucous to stool and make it soft.
Don't Sit for long periods of time on the toilet,Maintain proper posture while defaecating.
Drink one glass XXXXXXX warm water 10 minutes before going to washroom.Water lubricates stools and assist in easy passage.

Advice

Digital and proctoscopic examination of rectal canal should be done to look for exact positions of piles.

Brief Answer:
Follow up answer.

Detailed Answer:
Hi again XXXXXXX

As you are young I would advise you initially to go for Noninvasive procedure's like-

Sclerotherapy-An injectible chemical would be injected into hemorrhoid to kill the tissue.It's a relatively painless and out patient procedure.

Band ligation-Small bands will be ligated to base of hemorrhoid, this will cut off the blood supply resulting in shrinkage of hemorrhoid.

Laser or Infrared therapy can be use to coagulate the hemorrhoid.
All three procedures are equally effective. If recurrence occurs, you can go for surgery.

Yes it can be managed medically also, whether to go for noninvasive procedure or not depends on intensity of your symptoms and problems.

However, Calcium dobesilate can be tried initally twice daily for 21 days followed by once for 3 months along with application of cream containing Calcium Dobesilate, Hydrocortisone , Lignocaine and Zinc once daily at bed time. It is effective in about 60% patients.Strict dietary restrictions are to be followed if you opt for medical management.

Absolute cure is not possible but control of symptoms is possible medically. For cure either go for non-invasive procedures or surgery.

In case you need any other professional assistance I would be glad to help you XXXXXXX

Regards,
Kumar.
