Hello,
Avoid excessive straining for stools. Laxatives like lactulose can be taken for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult a general surgeon and get evaluated. In severe cases surgical repair like sphincterotomy may be needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
