Phys exam or scope: Many have "piles" & can actually be the issue or one of many other problems that your doctor can help. There are dietary, behavioral, hygiene changes & procedures that can help with these common problems.Both constipation and diarrhea can lead to this condition as well it is best if you consult with a general or colorectal surgeon to help with this matter.
