I'm 34 and have been told I have piles, but another doctor thinks it might be condyloma. My current doctor says it's external piles and recommends surgery. What should I do? I'm confused about the different opinions and unsure if surgery is the right step

It's understandable to be confused with conflicting diagnoses. Since you've been told both "piles" (hemorrhoids) and "condyloma" (anal warts), and your current doctor suggests surgery, it's crucial to get a second opinion and clarify the diagnosis and treatment options

I've been dealing with an anal fissure for the last three months, and in the past month, I've been using Smuth ointment after sitz baths and taking Cremaffin Plus at night. It seemed like things were getting better, with about 90% healed, but today I passed a hard stool and the tear happened again in the exact same spot. It's like history repeating itself, as it happened before in another direction but still in the same area. I'm really worried and wondering why this keeps occurring. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I should do?

It sounds like you are experiencing recurrent anal fissures despite the initial healing. To help prevent further tearing and promote healing, you can try using Anovate cream after each bowel movement and continue with sitz baths. Additionally, you can take a stool softener like Duphalac to prevent hard stools and reduce straining during bowel movements. Make sure to stay hydrated and include fiber-rich foods in your diet to help with bowel movements. If the issue persists, consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with an anal fistula and undergoing kshar sutra treatmentthis is my fifth session now. My doctor keeps threading the fistula, and I'm wondering if there are any side effects. Every time the fistula is opened, a little pus comes out before they thread it again. Could you explain why this happens and if there's something I should be concerned about?
