Hello doctor,
I am 17 years old this year, recently I often feel pain in the anal area, especially when defecating and itching in the anus. When taking a bath, I noticed that the area around the anus was more swollen than before. I want to ask the doctor if I have hemorrhoids? How should I treat it, how should I eat and drink to improve the disease and not let the disease get worse? I hope to receive advice from a doctor about anal pain that is caused by hemorrhoids so that I can treat the disease most effectively. I would like to thank you doctor.

Hello,
To the question "Is anal pain caused by hemorrhoids?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
At your age, hemorrhoids are not common. Your condition is most likely caused by constipation or hard stools. However, if this situation is prolonged, it can easily lead to hemorrhoids and anal diseases.
Therefore, you should see a specialist in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy for accurate diagnosis, advice and treatment of your current condition.
If you still have questions about the burning pain in the anal area, is it hemorrhoids, you can go to the specialized medical facilities or the hospital of the Vinmec Health System for a doctor's examination and more specific advice. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
