What is bleeding near the anus?

When bleeding near the anus, it is important to clarify whether the blood is coming from the anus, inside or from outside the anus. If the bleeding is from inside the anus, it may be caused by anal fissure or hemorrhoids. At this time, you can incorporate hemorrhoid suppositories inside the anus and also apply hemorrhoid cream at the anal opening to be able to stop the bleeding. You should pay attention to a light diet, avoid spicy and stimulating foods and fried foods, increase the intake of fruits and vegetables, and drink more water to help soften the stool. Because if the stool is too dry and hard, it will repeatedly stimulate the bleeding site, leading to recurrent episodes of blood in the stool. And if the blood comes from outside the anus, it is important to see if there is a mass outside the anus that will cause pain. If there is an obvious mass with painful symptoms, there is a chance that the bleeding is caused by a perianal abscess or an anal fistula. This is the time to go to the hospital for surgical treatment. The reason for this is that the conservative treatment methods are generally ineffective and surgery is required to cure the symptoms caused by either perianal abscess or anal fistula.
