I have a painful swelling near my anus but no bleeding, is surgery the only option or can it be treated another way? Also what foods should I stay away from to help with this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It could be a perianal abscess or thrombosed pile; sitz baths, pain meds, and dietary changes help—surgery is needed only if it worsens.

I'm really worried about my piles. It's been 23 years since they first showed up, and lately, I've been having a lot of pain and irritation during and after going to the bathroom. It's so bad that I cant even stand properly for about 5 minutes, and it takes about 2 hours for the pain to go away. I've cut down on oily and spicy foods and drink plenty of water, but nothing seems to help. I tried Dobesil for a month, and it worked for a while, but then after about 3-4 months, the problem came back. I really need to know if theres a way to treat this with medicine at this stage, or maybe through homeopathy? Is it possible to manage or cure this completely?
Sounds like you are experiencing symptoms of hemorrhoids (piles). To help manage the pain and discomfort associated with hemorrhoids, you can try using over-the-counter medications such as Preparation H or Anusol. These medications help reduce inflammation, pain, and itching. You can also try sitz baths and keeping the anal area clean to help alleviate symptoms. For a more long-term solution, you may need to consult with a doctor to discuss prescription medications or procedures such as rubber band ligation or sclerotherapy.

I've been dealing with thrombosed piles for about 15 days and also have 1st grade piles. Doctors recommended surgery but I'm wondering if there are any medications that could help instead
While surgery might be recommended for thrombosed hemorrhoids and first-degree piles, several non-surgical options, including medications, can help manage symptoms and potentially resolve the issue without surgery. Thrombosed hemorrhoids often resolve on their own within a few weeks.
