Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to hemorrhoids. But better to rule out other problems like diverticulitis by doing a sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy after consulting a Gastroenterologist. Taking stool softerners like lactulose or cremaffin at bed time will be helpful. Take fiber rich diet. Take plenty of plain water also.
Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
