View allI've been dealing with really bad piles and heard thuthi leaf might help but I'm breastfeeding my 4-month-old is it safe to take? I don't want surgery, what else can I try for relief?
Thuthi leaf lacks safety data in breastfeeding. Try stool softeners, high-fiber diet, and topical creams. Sitz baths can provide good relief without surgery.

Had fissure surgery 5 days ago and noticing yellow discharge on the gauze pad is mucous discharge normal after this type of procedure? Just a bit worried since it's my first time dealing with this
A small amount of mucous or serous discharge (yellowish, watery fluid) on the gauze pad after anal fissure surgery is generally normal as part of the healing process. This type of drainage is often present for a few days to a week as the wound heals. However, it's important to monitor for signs of infection, such as increased pain, redness, swelling, or pus. If you are concerned about the discharge or have any other concerns, it's best to contact your doctor or surgeon for advice

I noticed a small muscle-like bulge near my anal area but there's no bleeding. Could this be piles or an external hemorrhoid? Do I need surgery for this or are there other treatment options?
A small, muscle-like bulge near the anus without bleeding could be an external hemorrhoid, also known as piles. Hemorrhoids are swollen veins that can develop inside or outside the anus and rectum. While often harmless and may resolve on their own, it's important to consult a doctor for diagnosis and to rule out other potential causes, especially if you experience pain or bleeding
