Question

I'm dealing with a really painful grape-sized lump on my butt, along with a low-grade fever and headache. I've been using Preparation H, and it offers some relief, but it's temporary. I've never experienced hemorrhoids, so I'm unsure if that's what this is. The veins in my groin area feel sore, and even my taint is affected. I'm hesitant to eat or use the bathroom because every cough sends pain through my entire butt. This started after a cough that I thought was a painful fart, and the pain hasn't stopped, in fact, it's worsened over the past week. Every cough or sneeze now makes me fart. Is this normal and something that'll go away on its own, or should I see a doctor?

Question

I'm really worried about my dad who's just been diagnosed with a high fistula. He's 70 and we're looking for options. I've heard about treatments like the anal fistula plug and fibrin glue procedure. Are these effective, especially for someone his age?
