View allCan a Bartholin cyst or abscess develop into an anal fistula? Also, are there any non-surgical treatments for fistula in ano, and what side effects come with surgery for it?
While Bartholin's cysts and abscesses can cause complications like fistulas, they do not directly develop into anal fistulas. Bartholin's cysts and abscesses affect the vulva, while anal fistulas occur in the area around the anus.

I'm dealing with a piles problem and I'm not sure which type of specialist doctor I should see in allopathic medicine for this. Is it a physician or is there another kind of specialist I should look for? I'm feeling a bit worried and would appreciate some guidance.
For piles problem, you should consult a Proctologist or a Colorectal Surgeon. They specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions related to the colon, rectum, and anus. They can provide you with the appropriate treatment plan, which may include medications such as Daflon (500mg) and topical creams, as well as procedures like rubber band ligation or surgical intervention if necessary.

I've noticed this small, soft, pea-sized lump near my anal area for the past few years. It doesn't hurt, nor does it bleed or cause any irritation. Should I be worried about it, or is it something normal?
It is possible that the lump you are experiencing could be a skin tag or a hemorrhoid. However, without a physical examination, it is difficult to provide a definitive diagnosis. If you are not experiencing any symptoms such as pain, bleeding, or irritation, it may not be a cause for concern. If you are still worried about it, you can try using over-the-counter hemorrhoid creams like Preparation H or Tucks to see if there is any improvement. However, I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and advice.
