I have been constipated all my life despite trying laxatives (laxaday) and I am afraid that this could cause more serious problems. I have cauliflower anus but I am too embarrassed to talk about it with my family doctor

Hello ma'am, are you talking about hemorrhoids?
36-year-old woman · a year ago
I don't know if it's hemorrhoids or skin scarring from repeated cracking. It's not painful and doesn't bleed too often.

Thanks for the feedback.
Anusol Plus ointment, available without a prescription, can be applied to the irritated area (inside and outside as needed) twice a day and after each bowel movement.
Avoid sitting on the toilet bowl for long periods of time, as this can make the situation worse. Get up as soon as you are finished (don't read the newspaper or use your cell phone, for example)
If the situation does not seem to improve after 2 weeks, or if it gets worse, you should consult your doctor. There is nothing embarrassing about this health problem. However, only the doctor can make the request for further examinations if deemed necessary.
I will remain available if you have any further questions
Sincerely
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
