I've had an anal fissure with a sentinel tag since December 2018. It improves with treatment but flares up again as soon as I stop meds. Doctors say surgery is the only fix, but I really want to avoid that. Are there any other options that could help long-term without needing an operation?

surgery opinion is advised to the patient.

I forced a poop the other day and felt something weird come out besides poop. Now there's this disc-like thing next to my butthole with a dark blue or black spot on it. Pooping hurts now, and my underwear keeps getting mucus stains with a strange smell. Should I be worried? Is this something I need to see a doctor for? Are there specialists for this kind of thing, and could it require surgery? It's embarrassing to talk about in person but I'm not sure what to do

It's understandable to be concerned about these symptoms. The disc-like thing and associated discomfort could be due to a rectal prolapse, hemorrhoids, or other conditions affecting the rectum and anus. Since you're experiencing pain, mucus, and unusual discharge, it's important to consult a doctor, potentially a colorectal specialist, for proper diagnosis and treatment.
