Likely hemorrhoids: Try sitz baths (sitting in warm bath), topical medications like anusol, preparation h, witch hazel, or analpram, increase dietary fiber, take stool softener if stools hard, and avoid prolonged sitting on toilet or straining at stools. See health care provider for an anoscopic exam, sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy to visualize area to confirm hemorrhoids and exclude other conditions or causes.
