I would advise you to meet a general surgeon so that it can be assessed and staged. She may require corticosteroids, ointment, cream and laxatives as a medical treatment. These following steps may help:
- Do not strain during bowel movements
- Reduce weight as per your BMI
- Exercise regularly
- Eat food rich in fiber and bran based cereals.
- Have laxatives for strain to be reduced during bowel movements
- Sitting on a doughnut ring cushions can reduce the pain while sitting.
