Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

Dear Mr XXXXXXX

Pain in anal region especially at time of passing stools is likely to be due to anal fissure. I would suggest you the following

1. Hot Seitz bath : To a tub of lukewarm water add 2 spoon of antiseptic solution. Sit in it For 15 to 20 minutes each session twice a day.

2. Laxatives like Lactulose will ensure soft stool

3. Local application of Nifedipine ointment will relax muscle and help in healing of anal fissure.
Apply it twice a day

4. Local application of local anaesthetic ointment before passing stools will help relieve pain while passing stools

Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.

Wishing you and your family a very happy and healthy life.

Take care
