Brief Answer:
As discussed.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Noted your feedback.
Please continue glycerine suppositories for easy passage of motion and sitz bath.
Carry on with the probiotic and multivitamins.
The most probable reasons for the pain passing initial stool and longer spams and feeling of incomplete evacuation may be:
- Stress and/anxiety.
- Sort of IBS as you have a feeling of incomplete evacuation too.
- Praoctalgia due to local inflammation or so.
Have you noticed any of the foods and/or beverages that has instigated this problem?
Any stress or anxiety?
I think it was one of the ointments you mentioned Nytroglycerin ointment 0.2% thrice a day and SHIELD ointment helped you.
Please try one on day 1 and another on day 2 and see it it helps and please let me know.
It would be wise to add on some medications like Ibuprofen in the beginning and see the effects. If required, a treatment on the basis of IBS can also be thought about.
I hope this answer helps you. Please use as we discussed and give me the feedback.
Have Sitz bath for longer time.
