I'm a 61-year-old man with uncontrolled diabetes for the past 10 years and was recently diagnosed with piles and fistula. My doctor recommended surgery but I'm worried about complications due to my high blood sugar levels. Are there any effective non-surgical treatment options I could explore for this condition

For a 61-year-old diabetic man with piles and fistula, non-surgical options like medication, diet, and lifestyle modifications can be explored. However, it's crucial to work closely with a doctor to assess the severity of the condition and potential risks associated with surgery, especially considering the complications of diabetes.

View allI'm dealing with a small pimple or boil right at the opening of my anus, and it's making it hard to pass motion, especially when I'm constipated. I also notice that eating spicy food sometimes causes pain during bowel movements. Can you advise me on which type of doctor I should see about this?
You may be experiencing a condition known as an anal abscess or a hemorrhoid. To help with the pain and discomfort, you can try using over-the-counter stool softeners like Colace (docusate sodium) to ease bowel movements. You can also apply over-the-counter hemorrhoid cream like Preparation H to the affected area to reduce inflammation. However, it is important to consult a surgeon for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

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.
