I'm dealing with piles after my c-section and it's been about a month now. Plus, there's this swollen mass that's really uncomfortable. I'm breastfeeding my baby, so I'm worried about taking any strong medications. Do you have any suggestions for remedies or precautions I should be considering?

Question

I'm dealing with a bad case of piles for about a week now, and it hasn't improved. I'm not dealing with any other medical issues at the moment. What would you suggest I do next?

I'm noticing that near the opening of my anus, there's this extra piece of skin hanging out, kind of like a small bulb. It's not painful, but it's really noticeable and seems larger than a small piece of skin should be. I'm a bit worried about what this could be and wondering if it's something I should be concerned about. Can you provide any insights on what this might be and if I should have it checked out?

Question

I've got this 12-inch soft skin lump hanging around the wrinkle part of my anus, and it's been there for over a year. It's flesh-colored and hasn't caused me any discomfort at all. I'm just wondering, will this lump eventually go away on its own, or is it likely to just stick around?
