Brief Answer: This could be due to hemorrhoids Detailed Answer: Welcome back, The above symptoms which have mentioned could be due to hemorrhoids. Constipation and hard stools are risk factors of hemorrhoids. I would start you on antihemorrhoidal creams such as preparation H along with stool softeners. Warm sitz bath can be helpful too. Your nearest pharmacist will know about these medications. You should also add plenty of fibers in your diet - Plenty of raw vegatables, spinach, green leafy vegatables, banana and drink plenty of water keep yourself hydrated. Besides that regular exercise is required daily. I also recommend that you consult a surgeon and further treatment. Hope you find this as helpful. Take care! Dr Qazi Ammara.
