Ask
Hello doctor! Before, when I went to the bathroom, it was difficult for a while to see blood in the anus, when I went out, the condition decreased for a while. I went to the doctor, the doctor said there was no progress but only anal ulcer. However, now it is very difficult to go to the toilet sometimes, it seems that the anus is swollen and swollen when defecating. I want to ask the doctor, is it difficult to go to the toilet and itchy anus with big swelling is hemorrhoids? I would like to thank you.

Hello, anal - rectal ulcer can cause bleeding symptoms when defecating, if not treated completely the inflammation can progress to chronic, when Swollen mucosal inflammation will cause a number of symptoms such as: a feeling of straining, ie perineal area, itching around the anal canal.
Hemorrhoids is a disease involving the vascular cushions and soft tissues around the anal canal, which can also have similar symptoms.
