Detailed Answer:
Hello dear
Warm welcome to Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query thoroughly .
* Seems in relation with anal fissure or proctitis related pain and secondary
retention or impaction of stool .
* Suggestions for better recovery
- Visit to consultant surgeon is must to get per rectal examination , if stool is
stony hard or severely impacted ( as there is more possibility ) ; it will need
manual evacuation with gloves on hands by the surgeon .
- Along with your current measures of laxatives , diet , water
* Sitz bath ( sitting in a tub filled with lukewarm water 5 minutes each every 6
hourly ) gives some comfort .
* Local application of Xylocaine ( 5 % ) jelly will help .
* Tab. ibuprofen ( 400 ) mg 3 times a day after meals with antacids ( as there
is no mention of pain killer herewith in your narration ) , as if the stool has
difficulty in getting out due to pain , this will surely work well .
* Manage to relieve stress , anxiety with deep breathing exercises , YOGA
Hope this will help you for sure .
Wishing you fine recovery .
Would like to have follow up after 24 hours or early if needed .
Regards dear take care .
