Yes, it's possible for an anal fissure with a small skin tag to heal completely using ointments and medications, especially if the fissure is acute. Surgery is generally reserved for chronic fissures that don't respond to conservative treatment.

Question

I've had this stomach issue for 7 months where it feels like there's a constant knot in my upper stomach and throat. Did an endoscopy 5 months ago showing small hiatus hernia and some erosions. Tried multiple meds like rabeprazole, levosulpride, montilucast for months with no relief. One doctor now suggests surgery but I'm unsure. What could be causing this persistent discomfort and is surgery really needed?
