I'm a bit worried because I've got this painful lump on the left side of my anus. There's no redness or anything visible on the skin, but it's definitely there and it's been about a week now. It hurts when I sit, walk, or touch it. I'm not sure who to see about thisshould I consult a gynecologist, a physician, or maybe a gastric specialist? What do you think?

You may be experiencing a perianal abscess. I recommend you to see a physician for further evaluation and treatment. You may be prescribed antibiotics such as Augmentin 625mg to help with the infection. In some cases, surgical drainage may be necessary to treat the abscess effectively. It is important to seek medical attention promptly to prevent any complications.

View allIs it possible for a fistula to come back just 20 days after surgery? I noticed a small pimple-like bump near the surgical wound and I'm worried it might be recurring
Unfortunately, despite proper treatment and complete healing, an abscess or a fistula can come back. If an abscess comes back, it suggests that perhaps there is a fistula that needs to be treated. If a fistula comes back, additional surgery will likely be required to treat the problem.

I've noticed a small bump or boil on the outside of my anus that showed up out of nowhere. It's been around for four days and hasn't gotten any smaller. I came across some info online, and it seems like it could be either piles or a hemorrhoid. I'm worried because I'm not sure which it is or what I should do next. Any advice or suggestions would really help.
A small bump or boil on the outside of your anus could be a perianal abscess, a skin tag, or an anal gland infection, rather than piles or hemorrhoids, which typically occur inside the anus, and given that it hasn't reduced in size after four days, it's essential to consult a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist

I've been dealing with really bad burning and itching around my anus along with bleeding. It's super painful when I pass stool, and the burning sensation lasts all day. Is it possible to treat piles completely without surgery? Can medications alone fix this for good? What should I do to heal it completely?
Piles can often be treated without surgery using diet, Sitz baths, and meds—avoid spicy food, stay hydrated, and use creams.
