Question

I have a fistula in ano and my doctor recommended surgery but I'm really hoping to avoid going under the knife if possible Are there any non-surgical treatments that could work for this condition

I've been experiencing some discomfort lately, with pain in my anus that feels worse when I'm sitting or riding my motorbike. I'm also struggling with passing hard stools. Could you help me figure out what might be causing this and how I can feel better?

Question

I'm 21 and dealing with external piles. I haven't been able to talk to my family about it because it's embarrassing, and now they're interfering with getting a government job. It's been about 6 months since I've had any symptoms like bleeding, pain, or itching, but the lump around my anal area still isn't going away. I do get constipated now and then. What should I do about this, and how can I get rid of the lumps?
