Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Dengue is a condition which causes severe decrease in platelets and this may lead to uncontrolled bleeding due to abnormal clotting mechanism. Having Hb 5.1 is severely anemic and requires treatment with blood transfusion and also transfusion of packed cells and platelet concentrates. This has to be done slowly and best under supervision of a medical specialist.
You must also take good food. For plies consulting with a surgeon is important. Follow his advise which may include taking a sitz bath. Fill your bathtub with just enough warm water to cover the anal area. Do this several times a day, especially after you have had a bowel movement. Soak for about 15 minutes at a time. Be careful! If the water is too warm, it could burn you.
Try not to sit or stand for a long time when hemorrhoids are irritated. If you must sit for a long time, sit on a pillow. Avoid lifting heavy objects.
Wear cotton underwear to prevent moisture buildup, which can irritate hemorrhoids. Wear loose clothing to allow freedom of movement and to reduce pressure on the anal area.
Waiting for an update from your end.
Hope this helps.
