I forced a poop the other day and felt something weird come out besides poop. Now there's this disc-like thing next to my butthole with a dark blue or black spot on it. Pooping hurts now, and my underwear keeps getting mucus stains with a strange smell. Should I be worried? Is this something I need to see a doctor for? Are there specialists for this kind of thing, and could it require surgery? It's embarrassing to talk about in person but I'm not sure what to do

It's understandable to be concerned about these symptoms. The disc-like thing and associated discomfort could be due to a rectal prolapse, hemorrhoids, or other conditions affecting the rectum and anus. Since you're experiencing pain, mucus, and unusual discharge, it's important to consult a doctor, potentially a colorectal specialist, for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Question

What is a posterior fistula in ano and how complicated is it I'm having surgery today and feeling a bit nervous can you explain what to expect

I've been dealing with piles or fistula for the past month with a 12-inch muscle growth near my anus. There's a lot of itching, swelling, and mild pain. I've tried Ayurveda meds and followed a high-fiber diet with fruits, but the pain hasn't gone away. Now I'm using Himalaya Pilex ointment and tablets, but still no relief. I really don't want surgery what else can I do to manage this?
