After defecation, if there is a burning sensation around the anus caused by hemorrhoids, patients may apply medications such as hemorrhoid ointment under medical guidance. When necessary, symptoms can be improved through hemorrhoidectomy surgery. If the condition is due to an anal fissure, prompt consultation with a proctologist at a正规 hospital is required, and treatment may involve internal anal sphincterotomy to prevent disease progression. It is also advisable to avoid spicy foods in daily diet.
