View allI've been dealing with an anal fissure for about two months now and just started using pilex ointment and tablets two days ago. I'm wondering if the ointment is actually going to help heal the fissure or if it's just going to stop the burning sensation and pain. I noticed that the burning is actually worse with the pilex ointment when compared to using coconut oil. Should I keep using the pilex ointment or switch to coconut oil instead? Which one would be better for healing the fissure? I'm really confused about what would work best.
Using Pilex ointment and tablets can help in healing the anal fissure. The ointment will not only provide relief from burning sensation and pain but also aid in the healing process. If you experience more burning sensation with Pilex ointment, you can switch to using coconut oil. Coconut oil has soothing properties and can also help in healing the fissure. Apply a small amount of coconut oil to the affected area for relief and healing.

I've been dealing with piles for about 4 years now most days it's manageable but sometimes the pain gets really bad. Are there any non-surgical treatments or lifestyle changes that could help reduce the flare-ups?
High-fiber diet, hydration, and Sitz baths may reduce pile symptoms—surgery is only needed if conservative methods fail.
