I've been dealing with hemorrhoids for about a month now, and it's been really painful. On top of that, I've had pinworms for around 10 years. It seriously feels like I'm being stabbed with a knife in my anus. What can I do to ease this pain and get some relief?
-It sounds like you're in a lot of pain from your hemorrhoids. It's important to consult a doctor for proper treatment, as both the hemorrhoids and pinworms can cause discomfort that requires specific care.
