Hello,

Thanks for your query on HCM

"As" per your clinical history is concerned please follow like this -

1)Do a clinical examination by your Doctor and to confirm exact status do [anoscope].

2)Do take medications and it is good but discuss with your Doctor about [nitrogylcerin]ointment at bedtime and it is a prescription medication.

3)Do take sitz bath 3 times a day to relax anal muscles.

Do follow lifestyle modifications like this-

1)Try to Increase your fiber intake. Adding fiber to your diet increases the weight of your stool and speeds its passage through your intestines.Slowly begin to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables each day. Choose whole-grain bread and cereals.You can take an OTC fiber supplement at bedtime regularly.

2)Do exercise most days of the week. Physical activity increases muscle activity in your intestines. Try to fit in exercise most days of the week.

3)Don't ignore the urge to have a bowel movement. Take your time in the bathroom, allowing yourself enough time to have a bowel movement without distractions and without feeling rushed.

Hope that helps
