Your symptoms suggest inflamed piles or mild fissure causing severe pain. Start Daflon + pain relief + sitz baths + stool softener for 7–10 days. If pain doesn’t ease within a week, visit a proctologist / surgeon sometimes a small thrombosed pile needs simple drainage or fissure evaluation.

1. Your symptoms suggest an anal fissure, which is a small tear in the anal lining causing severe pain during passing stool.
2. Avoid hard stools by taking plenty of water, fruits, and fiber-rich foods like banana, papaya, and vegetables.
3. Soak in warm water (sitz bath) for 10–15 minutes twice daily to relax the muscle and reduce pain.
4. Apply lidocaine or fissure healing cream like Diltiazem or Lignocaine as advised by your doctor.
5. Avoid straining and spicy food. If pain persists, a proctologist visit is needed for faster healing and to rule out infection.

Based on what you’re describing, the severe pain during bowel movements along with irritation and swelling could be symptomatic of an anal fissure, even if you haven’t noticed a visible cut. Anal fissures are small tears in the lining of the anal canal often caused by straining during bowel movements, passing hard stools, or chronic diarrhea, and they can be extremely painful. However, the absence of visible blood is somewhat atypical but not impossible with minor fissures. It’s essential to differentiate this from other issues like hemorrhoids which can cause similar discomfort. Since you mention dealing with piles, which are swollen blood vessels in the anal region, it’s quite possible that both conditions could coexist. For self-management, focus on keeping stools soft to minimize strain, which could be accomplished through dietary adjustments like increasing fiber intake (fruits, vegetables, whole grains) and maintaining hydration to about 8-10 glasses of water daily. Over-the-counter stool softeners and sitz baths (sitting in warm water for about 10-15 minutes a few times a day) can also help relieve symptoms. Avoid prolonged sitting and heavy lifting, which could exacerbate symptoms. If the pain persists or increases, or if you notice blood, get evaluated by a healthcare professional to rule out more serious conditions and discuss potential treatments like topical medications or, occasionally, minor procedures. Anal fissures and hemorrhoids can often present with overlapping symptoms, so a professional assessment is key for appropriate management. Neglecting severe persistent pain or bleeding could lead to complications, and a tailor-fit approach will always be safest for lasting relief.
