My husband has had this round lump near his anus for a few months now. Sometimes it's really painful, and other times it's not bothering him at all. Should we be concerned about this? What type of doctor would be best to consult for something like this?

Question

Is it normal to masturbate after having an anal fistula surgery? I'm kinda worried if it might interfere with my healing. It's been around 1.5 months since my operation and the wound isn't fully healed yet.

Question

I've been dealing with this small lump about the size of a pea near my anus for months. After I have a bowel movement, it gets bigger and really painful, and I'm also dealing with constipation. I've seen a couple of doctors, and one said it's an anal abscess and gave me meds, but there's been no change. Another doctor gave me different meds that were supposed to be more effective, but no luck there either. I did some reading online and found information on hemorrhoids, so now I'm not sure if it's an anal abscess or hemorrhoids. I read abscesses can be caused by anal sex, but I've never had anal intercourse. I'm really confused and could use some advice on what this might be. Can you help me figure it out?

Question

I've been dealing with an anal fissure for about a week now and I'm using Soframycin, but it hasn't really helped. I noticed some bleeding at first, but that's stopped, although it's still tough to sit down comfortably. Could you suggest any medicine that might help speed up the recovery?
