What should I do to treat painful lumps around my anus (which I suspect are external piles) that have not gone away despite exercising, eating non-spicy foods, and taking Kayam Churan at night with warm water?
While Kayam Churan can help, long-term use of stimulant laxatives isn't ideal; a gentle osmotic stool softener like lactulose may be safer. To soothe the painful lumps, try taking warm sitz baths (sitting in warm water for 15 minutes) twice daily and applying a mild over-the-counter pain-relief ointment containing lidocaine. Please avoid straining during bowel movements. Since these lumps haven't resolved, I highly recommend consulting a healthcare professional or a general surgeon for a proper physical evaluation to ensure you get the right targeted treatment.
