- Patients should be encouraged to aim for stool consistency which is soft and passed without straining.
- This can be achieved using a combination of lifestyle measures (increased physical activity, weight loss, if appropriate, and adequate hydration), dietary changes (at least 30 g of fibre per day) and laxatives.
- This can be in the form of acute sharp pain which may be treated with topical anaesthetic agents such as lidocaine.
- In addition, patients may also experience a burning, dull perianal discomfort which may last for several hours after defaecation and may be offered nonopioid analgesics such as paracetamol with further escalation as appropriate.
- Advice includes not ignoring the urge to defaecate and avoiding prolonged sitting on the toilet or straining.
