I'm dealing with a piles problem and I'm not sure which type of specialist doctor I should see in allopathic medicine for this. Is it a physician or is there another kind of specialist I should look for? I'm feeling a bit worried and would appreciate some guidance.

For piles problem, you should consult a Proctologist or a Colorectal Surgeon. They specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions related to the colon, rectum, and anus. They can provide you with the appropriate treatment plan, which may include medications such as Daflon (500mg) and topical creams, as well as procedures like rubber band ligation or surgical intervention if necessary.

Question

I'm dealing with this small painful lump that popped up after having a bout of loose motions. It hurts, especially when I'm sitting or if I touch it, and it's really close to my anus. Any advice on how I can make it go away faster?

Question

I've been experiencing some discomfort recently, especially when I'm sitting for long periods. I noticed a pimple-like bump near my anus, and it hurts when I touch it. I'm worried this might be piles, but I'm not entirely sure. I've read online about self-care options, but I'm not sure what to do. Can you help me figure out if this is piles or something else, and suggest any creams or treatments? I've also attached a picture for reference.

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?
