I'm dealing with an anal fistula for about 2 years now, and sometimes the pain just becomes unbearable. Could you recommend the best doctor who specializes in treating this condition?

The discomfort you're experiencing could be due to hemorrhoids, anal fissures, or other conditions.

Over-the-counter (OTC) options for relief:

  • Creams: Anusol, Hydrocortisone, or Witch Hazel
  • Ointments: Petroleum jelly or Zinc oxide
  • Suppositories: Anusol or Dulcolax

Consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis and personalized advice.

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've been dealing with piles and I'm just 25. What's really concerning me is that I can actually feel something outside coming from inside when I'm washing the anus. It's just right near the opening. Can you suggest any medicine that might help?

If it's already coming outside, medicines will not help.
