I'm a couple of days post-operation for piles and now I'm dealing with a fever, along with some cold symptoms and body pain. Is this something that just happens sometimes, or should I be worried that it's more serious?

Bathing after eating fruits like mango and banana is generally safe.

No specific gap is required, but consider:

  1. Digestion time: Wait at least 30-60 minutes after eating to allow for digestion.
  2. Blood sugar levels: Fruits like mango and banana can cause a temporary spike in blood sugar. Bathing shortly after may lead to:
    • Dizziness
    • Lightheadedness
    • Shivering

To be cautious:

  1. Wait 1-2 hours after eating fruits before bathing.
  2. Take a warm shower instead of a cold bath to avoid shocking your system.

No serious health issues will arise from bathing after eating fruits. However, being mindful of digestion time and blood sugar levels can ensure a comfortable bathing experience.

I had a sentinel skin tag removed surgically but my doctor didn't treat the anal fissure causing it. Now I'm worried the skin tag might come back or get worse. How do I handle this chronic fissure to prevent more issues?

If a sentinel pile is present, it too may be removed to promote healing of the fissure. This may be combined with either injection with Botox or sphincterotomy.

I'm having a tough time with this burning and itching around my anus, and there's even blood when I go to the bathroom. I noticed a small piece of tissue or something external there, and it's really painful when I pass stool. The discomfort lasts all day, making it hard to sit or walk. After seeing the doctor, they mentioned it looks minor and focused on easing my constipation with some ointment and syrup to soften the stool. That part's a bit better now, but the opening feels too small, and this external pile makes it difficult when I go to the bathroom. I dealt with piles about two years ago, and medication helped within a few weeksit hasn't been an issue until now. I'm really eager to find a permanent solution for this external issue. Any advice on the best approach to tackle this?

To help with the pain, itching, and burning, you can use Preparation H ointment to reduce inflammation and discomfort. For permanent relief, you may need to consider a surgical procedure called hemorrhoidectomy to remove the external pile. In the meantime, continue using the ointment as directed and maintain soft stools with the syrup provided by your doctor. If the symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.

Surgeon opinion is advised to the patient.
