EXTENDED HISTORY:

In 2006, gastric problems increased (suspected etiology new kind of food, used to eat spicy foods, work very late night). He felt bloated, tenesmus, hard stool(3-4 times/day), constipation, flatulence, abd. pain.  Occasionally, few drops of raw blood used to come out with stool (2-3 days continuously, then again with a gap of 1-3 months). Had medicine from a local pharmacy, which decreased frequency of flareups of bleeding pr. Pt. did not seek anymore treatment because of shyness to discuss such issues and during flareups would take medicine from pharmacy.

In 2015-16, frequency of bleeding started increasing with feeling of splinter hemorrhagic pain/ burning sensation while passing of hard stool. Described the stool to be of very hard consistency at the beginning of defaecation and of dark color initially followed by softer stool of normal color. Went to Dr. who diagnosed it to be hemorrhoids and performed sclerotherapy. Treatment continued for one month. After which for one yr no problem. 

In 2017, went to Dubai, to work in a jewelry shop. After 1-2 months again bleeding started. Used to happen for 1-2 days (a few drops of blood), then again after a gap of 2-3 months. For 1.5 yrs, while in Dubai no treatment was done. 

Started homeopathy treatment in 2018, and continued till 2021. Gastric problem resolved. But hemorrhoids still persisted. 

1.5 yrs ago he went to AP, to work as construction labor. He noticed that bathing in cold water leads to itchiness and papular rashes all over body which would go away in 2-3 hrs after bathing. And since childhood during summer months used to have lot of prickly heat. Recently, happening more often, would go away when he works in AC room.

In 2021 Dec, went to Hyderabad for treatment of hemorrhoids. Also, c/o itchiness and papula with peeling of skin which resolved with ointment and medicine for allergy. Stayed in hospital for 11 days. Was prescribed medications. After returning home took 1 month complete rest. No more bleeding pr.

Then in Feb 2022, came to Hyderabad as an advocate for another patient. Returned home after staying in Hyderabad for 2-3 days. Pt suspect due to travelling for long hours in train, not bathing, eating spicy food, skipping proper meals resulted in recurrence in hemorraghic bleeding after he returned home. Stayed at home for 2-3 months, took complete rest and took all the medices prescribed. 

2-3 months later went to Kerala for work. After 1 month staying there, bleeding per rectum daily with burning sensation while passing stool. Came to Hyderabad, where colonoscopy and endoscopy was done.
