Can eating chapati or fish affect a fissure? I'm really worried about what foods might irritate it more or slow down healing. What should I avoid or include in my diet to help it improve?

Question

I'm really concerned about my situation. I think I might have piles, but I haven't seen a doctor yet. I've been using Anovate for about 78 months, and it used to help with the pain. However, since coming abroad and having to walk a lot, the pain has become unbearable, especially when walking, and now I can feel a bump in my anus. There's also some bleeding when I pass stool. I'm planning to return to India in a week, but the pain is getting too much to handle, and it's hard to walk. I'm using stool softeners, but they're not really helping, and the bump just seems to be getting bigger. Anovate isnt working anymore, and I'm not sure what else I can do until I get back. Can you advise me on how to manage this until I can see a doctor?

Question

I'm 21 and dealing with external piles. I haven't been able to talk to my family about it because it's embarrassing, and now they're interfering with getting a government job. It's been about 6 months since I've had any symptoms like bleeding, pain, or itching, but the lump around my anal area still isn't going away. I do get constipated now and then. What should I do about this, and how can I get rid of the lumps?

Question

I'm looking for advice on how to increase the size of my anus hole. Is there a safe way to do this, and what steps should I consider?
