Brief Answer:
Management of constipation is the mainstay of treatment.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
Application of Sucral Ano will give transient relief but would not resolve the sitaution. You can use it as and when required but the underlying factors need to be managed. Anal pain is often caused due to constipation. Therefore stool softeners are greatly helpful in such a situation. Avoid purgatives but take fiber supplements like senna, psyllium husk or any other bulk forming laxatives. You also need to take plenty of water to drink. Morning walk and adequate exercise is essential to maintain proper movement of the bowels. Sitz bath would provide relief from your anal pain. Take a tumbler of water as hot as your skin can take. Sit on it with your anal opening dipped. Do this for around 20 mins a few times a day. You should get relief.
Hope that helps.
Regards

Thanks Dr for your reply,

I would like to know, whether this is a sign of some serious disease or it was an accident.
Will it be healed completely.
I am asking because, I haven't ever feel this kind of Emergency like situation on my first week.

Brief Answer:
Any ailment needs right intervention at the right time.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back. Sorry for not being able to respond earlier.

Any untreated ailment can worsen and become serious whereas many serious ailments if managed properly at the right time cease to be serious. Such is the ailment that you currently have. If you take Sitz bath religiously and back it up with fiber rich diet and a healthy lifestyle, the disease will soon improve and you would have nothing to worry about. The propensity to get such problems once in a while would remain but a healthy lifestyle will keep it in check.

I hope you understand.

Regards
