I've been dealing with really bad bleeding from piles since giving birth, and I'm currently breastfeeding my 3-month-old. Can I safely use factu ointment, along with magnesium sulphate powder and glycerin? What else can I do to stop the bleeding?

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'm experiencing this strange pain in my bottom when I sit for a long time. It really burns, but interestingly, when I stand, run, or sleep, the pain goes away. I don't feel any pain or see blood when I go to the toilet, although I am dealing with a little constipation. There's no blood or pus in my stool either. Some people are telling me it might be piles, others say it could be fissures or maybe even a fistula. I'm really confused and would appreciate some guidance on what this might be.

Question

I've got this boil near my anus that's causing me a lot of trouble. It really hurts when I start to defecate and then it burns until I'm done. Sitting for long periods is also really uncomfortable. What could this be, and what should I do?
