I have first stage piles and struggle with hard bowel movements. My doctor recommended enlarging the anal canal without operating on the piles. I'm a bit confused is this procedure safe and effective for my condition? What should I expect if I go through with it?

Anal canal dilation can help early piles; it’s a safe, non-surgical outpatient option if properly done.

I'm experiencing this pain just above my rectum for the last few days, and it's getting pretty intense, especially when I'm moving around on the bed or walking quickly. I don't feel anything abnormal there, but the pain kicks in when I apply pressure to that area. Do you think this might be inflammation or perhaps something else? What type of doctor should I see for an early check-up?
You should consult a proctologist or gastroenterologist for an early examination. They will assess your symptoms, perform a physical examination and possibly imaging studies to diagnose the cause of the pain. Common causes include hemorrhoids, anal fissures, proctalgia fugax or pelvic floor dysfunction. Self-care measures include applying warm compresses, maintaining good bowel habits and managing stress.
