Ayurvedic treatment may help mild piles. Diet control and herbal remedies can manage symptoms, but advanced cases may eventually require surgery.

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?

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?

Question

I've noticed a small bump near the opening of my anus, and it's been causing some discomfort when I move, but the pain isn't too severe. A pharmacist recommended I take a Widemox 500 mg antibiotic. Should I be concerned about this bump? Do you think the antibiotic will help, or is there something else I should be doing? What's going on here?
