Hello,my name is Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi.
I understand your concern.
The only treatment is surgery.
Meanwhile some advice are:
-using over-the-counter stool softeners.
-drinking more fluids.
-taking fiber supplements and eating more fibrous foods, such as raw fruits and vegetables.
-taking warm baths called sitz baths to relax the anal muscles, relieve irritation, and increase blood flow to the anorectal area.
Hope it helps,
kind regards!
