I've been having a burning sensation around my anus during bowel movements. A BAMS doctor suggested surgery but I'm not sure I want to go through with it. Is there any way to treat this without surgery? What could be causing this issue?

A burning sensation during bowel movements can be caused by several factors, including hemorrhoids, anal fissures, infections, or even dietary irritants. While surgery might be an option for certain conditions, there are often non-surgical approaches that can provide relief and address the underlying cause. It's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional, ideally a proctologist or gastroenterologist, to determine the specific cause and receive appropriate treatment.

Question

I've been dealing with piles for the last 3 months where this vein-like thing keeps coming out when I go to the bathroom and I have to push it back in. Surgery isn't an option for me are there any tablets or sprays that can help shrink this thing so it stops popping out?

Question

I've got this lump near my anus that just showed up suddenly about three days ago. Since then, I've been experiencing chills and fever, but the fever and chills seem to get better when I use NSAIDs like diclofenac. I'm really worried about what this could be. Can you help me understand what's going on?

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?
