I had a fistula surgery 8 months ago which went well but now I have a small fissure again. My surgeon checked with a finger test and just advised me to eat a balanced diet and keep my stool soft. My question is - is it okay if I only clean the outside after passing stool and not put my finger inside to clean like doctors do during the anal exam? I'm worried that inserting a finger might cause infection in the fissure and lead to another fistula

Post-fistula surgery fissure cleaning externally is sufficient.Resisting internal cleaning is okay;if symptoms worsen,consult your surgeon.

I've been dealing with piles for the past 2 years and it's flared up again. I've seen many doctors, tried sithamaruthuvam, and taken various medicines but nothing has helped long-term. I even had piles surgery, but the problem persists. What else can I do and what kind of medicine should I take to finally get relief?

For persistent piles, advanced laser surgery, dietary changes, and medications like flavonoids can help. If you've already had surgery, consider a colorectal surgeon’s opinion to check for incomplete treatment or another condition like fissures.
