Thank you for your questions. The following answers regarding your current queries are just general descriptions due to the limited information provided by you. Click on this link (DoctorOnCall) for a private consultation with our doctors.

First and foremost, we truly understand your concerns regarding your symptoms and other health problems you might be facing. From your complaints, we believe that your condition may have multifactorial causes such as:

  1. Inadequate fiber in daily food intake
  2. Ignoring urge to pass stool
  3. Stress
  4. Overuse of coffee, tea or alchohol
  5. Reduced levels of exercise
  6. Hypothyroid, pregnancy, diabetes

The burning sensation of your backpassage is most likely due to constipation. Hence, you need to get your constipation treated and avoid any habits that may contribute to the constipation. As for fungal infection, i would need information to further confirm that your diagnosis is fungal infection as the treatment is antifungal pessary/cream. Therefore, we greatly suggest that you refer this to your nearest medical doctor. You may also click on this link (DoctorOnCall) to speak with our doctors online for free.
