A member asked:

A month ago i had very hard stools, then i started feeling anal pain. i read it can be anal fissure or hemoroids. i aplicated some hydrocortico creams but it didt help, i still have the pain when having a stool but during the day as well. what to do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anal pain: For the best care I recommend consulting a proctologist or colorectal surgeon for accurate diagnosis and appropriate care and follow-up. Anal fissure, thrombosed hemorrhoid, proctitis, peranal abscess are possibilities.
