What Is The Treatment For Constipation And Swelling In Anus?

On Thursday I was very constipated and had when I went to the restroom it was very painful. Not really any pain at that time but by Friday afternoon it was very painful and a swollen area popped up. It is about 4 inches long and ½ inch in diameter. I also took a photo and the area appeared to be bruised on just the right side where the swelling is located.

hii,
because of constipation probably you are having hemorrhoids ,usually causes of constipation are many but in day to day activities ,stress ,junk foods ,no proper sleep,and organic conditions most common is thyroid.If thyroid is the problem when we initate the treatment it will be resolved.Now the treatment for your problem is , need to have high fibre diet ,have a banana in night and more of green leafy vegetables,avoid spicy food ,avoid straining while passing stools,use some good laxatives which contain fibre.
You can do a sitz bath ,that is take a amll tub in which you can sit add loop warm water into that and betadine ,sit inside the tub twice a day.
If all the above measures doesnt show any improvement then you need to consult a surgeon ,he will help you out with this problem.
Hope this information help you
Thank you

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of constipation, painful passage of motion, and swelling at the anus. On Friday the pain was too much and a 4 inch long swelling appeared.
This most probably is due to one of the reasons:
Such a long thing can most probably a polyp.
Prolapsed hemorrhoid
Rectal prolapse.
I would advise you the following:
Consult a General Surgeon,
Rush to ER as you may need emergency services like reduction or excision as the case may be.
