[/INST] Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some hemorrhoid (piles).  You should go for per rectal examination to confirm that.  Two type of treatment is available. One is conservative. You should take plenty of water and high fiber diet.  Avoid constipation.  Avoid spicy and oily food.  Take laxative if needed.  This will help you to relieve symptoms. Permanent treatment of choice is surgery.  Consult your doctor and plan accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health. </s>
