Sir I travelled for 48 hours...been sitting. Because of sitting alot i had to force in the washroom to pass stools. I normally never have to force. I exercise regularly. I am completely fit. Never had constipation. When i finally arrived back home from that tiring long journey . The next day i felt a small bump like lump or a boil on the right side of my anal ring right outside anal opening. I checked in mirror. It had skin color. No pain at all. After 4 days i went to doctor. He gave me antibiotics i took for 2 weeks but still the boil is there and still no pain at all just an uncomfortable feeling of its presence.its smaller then a pea. Kindly guide me what to do about it. I am tavelling soon again in 4 days. But this time i changed the airline. Only 22 hours travel. Atleast.shorter then 48 hours. I am using an antibiotic cream on it. And i keep is clean.
Hello According to your history of travel, this bump around the anal ring is hemorrhoid, not a boil (because of undue force for stool). Since you develop this, so next DON'T STRAIN at all, usually straining (force) aggravate the condition. For this the best way is taken some phenolphthalein tablet for constipation during journey. For this take some an ovate type cream (or nifedipine +local anesthetic cream). I don't advise any antibiotics to my patient. In my opinion consult a physician and get a conservative treatment for hemorrhoids (2nd opinion). Good luck.
