I'm worried because I've had a lump in my bum area for three days now, and it's really painful. I'm struggling to sit down because of it. Could you help me understand what might be causing this? What should I do about it, and who would be the right type of doctor to consult?

Question

I've been having a lot of swelling and really bad pain in my perineum and one side of my anus. I can feel this firm lump near the anus opening and the whole perineum area is super swollen and firm too. It's incredibly painful and sometimes I get the chills and a fever from all the pain. I've been taking paracetamol to help a bit, but the pain just keeps coming back when it wears off. It's been like this for three days now, and it's just getting worse. I tried sitting in hot water and it gives some temporary relief, but I'm worried. What could this be and how do I treat it?

Question

I've got grade 3 and grade 4 piles but they don't hurt, and there's no bleeding when I use the bathroom. However, after I'm done, I have to push the grade 3 piles back in. I'm wondering if there's any medication that can actually cure hemorrhoids. Is that possible?

Question

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?
