Brief Answer:
Anti inflammatory should be taken with laxatives.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for query.
Our rectum and anal canal is lined by smooth layer of cells called mucosa.
When a person is constipated the hard stools rub against this mucosa and damages it.This breech in layer of mucosal covering leads to inflammation resulting in pain.

As per your query regarding pain-
First and the foremost thing is that stools should be normal so that they can pass easily and does not irritate the lining of mucosa.For it continue taking laxative daily.

Secondly anti inflammatry and wound healers should be taken for few days to heal the already inflammed mucosal wound.
For that i would recommend you to take-
Tab Diclofenac 50 mg twice daily-Potent anti inflammatory.
Tab Chymoral forte thrice daily(chymotrypsinogen) promotes early healing of mucosal layer.
Tab Celin 500 mg once daily contains vitamin C and is responsible for early and fast healing.

Follow them for 5 days.You may need a prescription.

Follow up after 5 days.

Thank you!

reply to patients follow up.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Yes it can be hemorrhoid also but as your history is of acute duration(only one week) we should rule out common cause first.
Actually hemorrhoid is also a sort of inflammation in veins only.
You can get prescription from your family doctor or any registered doctor.I am sorry but online prescription would not be valid.
Follow up after 5 days.

Brief Answer:
There is no cure however symptoms can be controlled very well.For cure surgery is to be done but chances of recurrence are quiet high.

Detailed Answer:
hey,
Hemorrhoid symptoms may include finding bright red blood on your toilet paper or seeing blood in the toilet after a bowel movement. Other common symptoms include rectal pain, pressure, burning, and itching. You may also be able to feel a lump in your anal area.
Treatment of hemorrhoids varies depending on where they are, what problems they are causing, and how serious they are.

Eat more fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Doing so softens the stool and increases its bulk, which will help you avoid the straining that can worsen symptoms from existing hemorrhoids. Add fiber to your diet slowly to avoid problems with gas.Suppository containing hydrocortisone (RUTICOOL)would be very helpful.

80% cases usually settles down bt taking conservative treatment only.
