I've been dealing with a fissure for the last two months and consulted both a colorectal surgeon and a gastrointestinal surgeon. They said it can be managed with diet changes, but that's only a temporary fix both recommended surgery for a permanent solution, which I don't want to do. Is homeopathy or Ayurveda a good option for long-term relief?

To remove fissures permanently, surgery is generally the most effective option, especially for chronic or non-healing fissures. A procedure called Lateral Internal Sphincterotomy (LIS) is often performed to relax the anal sphincter muscle and allow the fissure to heal.

Question

I've been dealing with a lot of discomfort from an anal skin tag and wondering if surgery is an option to remove it How long does it usually take to heal after the procedure

I've noticed a small bump or boil on the outside of my anus that showed up out of nowhere. It's been around for four days and hasn't gotten any smaller. I came across some info online, and it seems like it could be either piles or a hemorrhoid. I'm worried because I'm not sure which it is or what I should do next. Any advice or suggestions would really help.

Question

I've been dealing with an anal fissure for the last three months, and in the past month, I've been using Smuth ointment after sitz baths and taking Cremaffin Plus at night. It seemed like things were getting better, with about 90% healed, but today I passed a hard stool and the tear happened again in the exact same spot. It's like history repeating itself, as it happened before in another direction but still in the same area. I'm really worried and wondering why this keeps occurring. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I should do?
