2.sometimes during passing stool a burning sensation occurs at the mouth of the rectum which goes away on washing with water.
3.Sometimes after passing hard stool,a burning feelings on washing occurs at the rectum .For this problem
i visited my general physician in the month of may,this year,who checked my rectum thoroughly and by inserting his finger.after checking he stated no problem is there.After few days,when same problem occurs,i consulted one general surgeon and after checking he stated that a mild anal fissure is there.he adviced me to take hot water vapour adding betadine lotion in it followed by application of sucral ano cream at the affected area.

Brief Answer:
Acute On Chronic Fissure In Ano

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

Thanks for writing in

The detailed history is quiet informative and clearly points to a fissure in ano

It is for sure not worms

The fissure can cause all these symptoms

Primarily control your constipation, take extra fiber in diet, a stool softner

Take sitz bath twice a day for 15 minutes

Continue applying Sucral Ano ointment

If this does not cure, you will need to undergo a small surgery in form of Lateral Anal Sphincterotomy

Hope this helps

the symptoms stated in point 4 is just like the stool has a pointed edge which has stricked at the wall of rectum during it's downward movement.it is felt when stool is hard.but it occurs today despite the stool being soft-why?

i am suffering from tremendous tension and panic for different reason,mainly for health reason.

Brief Answer:
Probably Due to the fissure already present

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for the followup

A fissure takes time to heal, so even if the stool is normal, a fissure already present will cause symptoms

Hope this clears your doubts
