I recently had my fistula in ano heal about 15 days ago, but now there's a lump or bump inside my anus that hurts when I press hard. An ayurvedic doctor mentioned it might be from a fissure in ano surgery I had 5 years ago. Could this lump be related to that old surgery? What could be causing this pain now?

How long does recovery usually take after anal fissure surgery and are there any non-surgical treatment options that could work instead

Recovery after anal fissure surgery typically takes about six weeks for complete healing, but most patients can resume normal activities, including work, within one to two weeks. Non-surgical options like topical ointments, Botox injections, or blood pressure medications can be effective in some cases and may be tried before surgery.
