Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Pain in the anus is usually caused by rectal fissure. Its a kind of wound in the rectum which gives lots of pain when passing the stool. However it is not characteristic to have lower abdominal pain with this issue.
As fissure is usually caused by constipation, this seems your main problem. Constipation can be caused by bad diet, hypothyroidism, medicines (ca-blockers, antidepressants) or colon cancer.
Tiredness, heavy eyes feeling can be also caused by hypothyroidism.
Dizziness and tiredness are also present with low hemoglobin due to colon cancer.
That is why, I suggest you to visit your doctor once again. Blood work, thyroid tests and abdominal ultrasound should be done at first.
If you are older than 50, colonoscopy is strongly advisable.
If you are young person, please consult general surgeon and have rectal examination.
To improve fissure condition and make it go away please follow this steps:
- increase fiber rich products and mineral water intake
- start probiotic supplementation
- do not push hard on stool
- wash your rectum after every stool
- have sit baths with Oak Bark twice a day
- ask you doctor about Nitroglycerine cream

Hope this will help.
Regards.
