It is possible that the symptoms described could be due to hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels in the rectum or anus that can cause discomfort and pain. If you are experiencing constipation or diarrhea, it may be contributing to the issue. Drinking plenty of water and eating fiber-rich foods can help alleviate constipation. Avoiding stimulant drinks like coffee, tea, and energy drinks may also help. Taking warm sitz baths or using over-the-counter products from the pharmacy can provide relief.
