I recently had my fistula in ano heal about 15 days ago, but now there's a lump or bump inside my anus that hurts when I press hard. An ayurvedic doctor mentioned it might be from a fissure in ano surgery I had 5 years ago. Could this lump be related to that old surgery? What could be causing this pain now?

Question

I'm having a tough time dealing with pain after using the washroom for about a month now. I saw my GP, and he diagnosed me with a fissure and gave me some meds like CiploxTzH and Rinifol, plus Smuth Laxative and Anovate cream. A week later, the pain was a bit better, but I got worried and went to see a surgeon. He said I've got a fissure and two Grade III piles, with a lump outside the anus, and suggested surgery. Surgery freaks me out, so I got a second opinion from another surgeon. He also mentioned surgery but said it's not too urgent unless things get worse. He gave me 2Dilgel for the fissure. But when I use it, there's this terrible burning sensation around the lump. He said it should get better in 2-3 days. Is 2Dilgel really good for both fissures and piles? Also, is it okay to use coconut oil internally for fissures? What should be my next steps?
