Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your symptoms seem to be related to hemorrhoids. Some advices that I can give to you are:
- Add fiber to your diet slowly to avoid problems with gas.
- Apply an over-the-counter hemorrhoid cream or suppository containing hydrocortisone.
- Use pads containing witch hazel or a numbing agent.
- Soak regularly in a warm bath or sitz bath.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
