I have a fissure at 6 o'clock on the left side with a skin tag and now another fissure has developed on the right side. Is there any doctor who performs carbon dioxide laser surgery for chronic fissures?

View allI've been taking stool softeners for 11 months since delivering my baby last December and now I'm on homeopathic treatment for my fissure - should I stop the softeners? The pain is really bad and I'm wondering if laser surgery would be better since it hurts so much
Go for surgery.

Is laser surgery for piles a permanent fix or will the problem come back later I've heard mixed things and want to understand if it's worth going through the procedure
Laser surgery for piles is generally considered effective and can provide long-term relief, but it's not a guaranteed permanent fix. While recurrence rates are lower with laser surgery compared to traditional approaches, hemorrhoids can still return, especially if underlying causes aren't addressed and healthy habits aren't maintained

I've been dealing with this small lump about the size of a pea near my anus for months. After I have a bowel movement, it gets bigger and really painful, and I'm also dealing with constipation. I've seen a couple of doctors, and one said it's an anal abscess and gave me meds, but there's been no change. Another doctor gave me different meds that were supposed to be more effective, but no luck there either. I did some reading online and found information on hemorrhoids, so now I'm not sure if it's an anal abscess or hemorrhoids. I read abscesses can be caused by anal sex, but I've never had anal intercourse. I'm really confused and could use some advice on what this might be. Can you help me figure it out?
If it was abscess, then it should have been investigated further. Many times, abscess require surgical drainage. I would suggest you get it checked out by a general surgeon in person for further evaluation and management.
