My husband has been dealing with an anal issue for about 35 days now. He's really uncomfortable whether he's walking or sitting, and there are three lumps near his anus. We're living in different cities because of work so I'm worried. He says it's painful and that he's having regular bowel movements. He's also feeling a bit feverish and can't really concentrate at work. He's been doing warm compresses with Betadine twice a day, but since yesterday it's not helping either. What could be going on, and how can we help him feel better?

Question

I've been feeling a burning sensation near my anus when I'm sitting for a long time. I'm worried if this could be piles or something else. If it turns out to be piles, what can I do to treat it?

I'm dealing with a piles problem and I'm not sure which type of specialist doctor I should see in allopathic medicine for this. Is it a physician or is there another kind of specialist I should look for? I'm feeling a bit worried and would appreciate some guidance.

Question

I'm having a lot of pain right at the edge of my anus and lower back, and it's making it really hard to sit or go to the bathroom. I've also noticed some swelling in that area, and it hurts more if I try to stretch the muscle. Can you help me figure out what might be going on and suggest who I should see about this?
