I'm supposed to get an operation as my doctor recommended, but I'm really not comfortable with endoscopy surgery. On top of that, I'm working and it's tough to get time off. Is there any alternative option that might work for me?

I'm having this feeling like there's a needle and a burning sensation inside my anus, especially when I sit down. It's really annoying, and when I walk, it feels like there's stool stuck there. I've been dealing with constipation for about 34 weeks now, and just yesterday when I tried forcing the stool out, I felt like a jolt of pain, like a needle inside. What could be causing this, and how can I get some relief?

The symptoms of feeling a needle-like sensation, heat, and pain in the anus, accompanied by constipation and a sensation of stool presence, could indicate an anal fissure, hemorrhoids, or proctitis; consider consulting a gastroenterologist
