Question

I'm experiencing pain when I use the toilet, and I'm worried it might be bawasir. I'm really anxious about this because I'm trying to join the defense, and I know an operation could easily be noticed in the medical exam. I really don't want surgery to affect my chances. Could you guide me on what I should do now?

Question

I'm dealing with a really painful grape-sized lump on my butt, along with a low-grade fever and headache. I've been using Preparation H, and it offers some relief, but it's temporary. I've never experienced hemorrhoids, so I'm unsure if that's what this is. The veins in my groin area feel sore, and even my taint is affected. I'm hesitant to eat or use the bathroom because every cough sends pain through my entire butt. This started after a cough that I thought was a painful fart, and the pain hasn't stopped, in fact, it's worsened over the past week. Every cough or sneeze now makes me fart. Is this normal and something that'll go away on its own, or should I see a doctor?

Question

I'm a bit worried because I noticed a small lump near my anus. It's not bleeding, but it does cause a lot of itching. I'm not sure if it's piles or something else. Can you recommend any ointment or treatment that might help?
