Hi everyone i am from India. In November i went to my grand parents house to attend few weddings and it was cold weather and got flu and i have IBS so things gotten worse it started with vomiting then fever and at end of fever diarrhea. I have taken medicine for fever but not for diarrhea i thought i'll see if it get worse than will take medicine but it was improved so ignored it. when i cam back after 10 days i have itching and little pain during BM otherwise i was fine. After a week it started paining a lot it was unbearable and there was few streaks of blood with BM and seeing that haven't gone next day it only made things worse.I thought its hemorrhoids so started searching all over the net and there i saw article about AF and compared symptoms it is AF haven't gone to doctor first i am scared and some money issues.
*I have read everywhere to keep BM soft so started taking Cremalax laxative it was suggested by my gastroenterologist during IBS.
*pain medcine is must without that i couldn't prepare myself for BM i have taken warm bath (sitz bath) with coconut oil and applied lignocaine gel before BM so that area can numb so it pain less.
*Applied vaseline before BM so i won't hurt myself more.
*Eating less food but high fibers
Tried olive oil, coconut oil, vaseline, chaffing balm, warm water bath but nothings working and I am scared i don't know what to do reading everyone stories it is giving how and scarring too. recently got Ayurvedic ointment it is for hemorrhoids and fissure but 3 days no relieve and there's swelling outside and inside. the hole is getting small day by day I think i cant go to specialist till next month and I am preparing for exam so i have to sit 10-12 hours everyday.
If anyone has similar symptoms and more suggestion please do give.
