I'm a 23-year-old boy dealing with external hemorrhoids for the past 25 to 30 days, and the pain is really bad. There's no bleeding, but it's been a struggle. I've already tried some home remedies and SUCRAL ANO cream, but I haven't gotten any relief. What can I do next?

I've been dealing with a tough perianal abscess situation and had surgery twice for it already. I'm really worried it might come back. Are there any precautions I can take to stop it from recurring? My job involves sitting for nearly 10 hours daily, and although I loved eating non-veg food, I cut it out after my last surgery. I'm a 32-year-old guy. Any advice on what I should do or avoid?

Surgeon opinion is advised to the patient.

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'm really scared about getting surgery for my fissures and piles, what if my blood pressure shoots up before the operation? How do I know if the doctor will go ahead with the surgery or not, I'm so anxious about this
