I'm a 32-year-old guy dealing with an anal fistula and the pain is really bad plus there's constant pus discharge. Doctors say it's a 3.9 cm intersphincteric fistula and surgery is my only option. I'm worried about going under the knife are there any non-invasive treatments in Siddha or Ayurveda that could actually heal this for good?

Anal fistulas can be quite painful and uncomfortable. One common treatment option is to use antibiotics to help control the infection and reduce the pus formation. You can try taking a course of antibiotics such as Metronidazole. Additionally, you may benefit from a topical ointment like Nitrogesic ointment to help with pain relief and healing. It's important to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further infection. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm dealing with multiple fistulas and they're really painful. I'm trying to figure out whether laser surgery or fistulotomy would be better in the long run. I've heard fistulotomy can be more of a permanent fix, but I'm really not sure about the laser option. Could you give me some advice on this? And also, how long after surgery until I can sit comfortably and get back to working at the office?

I'm really worried because my dad found a lump near his anus. My mom and I took a look with a torch, and it's a bump right on the side. He's been in pain, and it's making it hard for him to go to the bathroom, like it's partially blocking things. I'm wondering, could this lump be cancerous? And if it's not, is there a way to treat it without needing surgery?
It is probably an external hemorrhoid. For the treatment of hemorrhoids, there are various over-the-counter medications available in India such as Smuth cream, Anovate ointment, and Proctosedyl ointment. These medications can help reduce pain, inflammation, and itching associated with hemorrhoids. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as increasing fiber intake, staying hydrated, and avoiding straining during bowel movements can also help manage hemorrhoids. However, if the hemorrhoid does not improve with conservative measures, surgical options such as rubber band ligation or hemorrhoidectomy may be considered. It is best to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan based on the severity of the condition.

I had laser surgery for piles and fissure on 29th September but still haven't passed any stool only gas and some bloody discharge. Is this normal or should I be worried? What can I do to ease this?
After laser surgery for piles and fissures, it's not uncommon to experience delayed bowel movements or mild discomfort. If you're concerned, consult your surgeon for advice. You can try fiber supplements, warm baths, and stool softeners to help ease discomfort.
