Hello doctor. I am 60 years old female, first I had anal pain, itching, treatment with pain relief and itching, followed by constipation and swelling on one side of the anus. I have soaked alum for 2 weeks, but no swelling but no cure and continued constipation and anal pain. I hope the doctor can help me with my current health condition. Thank you doctor.

Hello, sister. Swollen pain, itching anus has many causes, such as hemorrhoids, abscess near the anus, anal fistula, ... Constipation is also one of the risk factors for these diseases.
It is best to register for an examination at a gastroenterology clinic, a hospital under Vinmec Health System so that the doctors can examine it directly and can suggest some more diagnostic procedures to have a specific treatment direction. Okay.
Hope to see you soon to discuss more and find the best way to solve the disease. Love.
