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?

View allI've been diagnosed with rectal prolapse and my doctor mentioned two surgery options STARR and laparoscopic rectopexy. What's the difference between them, and which one is usually better? Also, what kind of risks or complications should I be aware of with each procedure?
Adults with rectal prolapse need surgery to put rectal tissue that slips into their anus back where it belongs. Rectal prolapse surgery (rectopexy) may take place through your abdomen or perineum (a perineal rectosigmoidectomy).

I've had both external and internal piles for 3 days now with transparent sticky mucus discharge. The lump near my anus stays swollen and hard outside with mild pain and itchiness. Should I consider surgery at this point and how can I stop the mucus discharge?
As a doctor, I’d suggest starting with conservative treatment like high-fiber diet, plenty of fluids, warm sitz baths, and topical creams (like hydrocortisone or lidocaine). The mucus discharge and swelling often improve with these. Surgery isn't usually needed this early unless there’s severe pain, bleeding, or persistent prolapse. Do consult a surgeon if symptoms worsen or don’t improve in a week.

I noticed a small muscle-like bulge near my anal area but there's no bleeding. Could this be piles or an external hemorrhoid? Do I need surgery for this or are there other treatment options?
A small, muscle-like bulge near the anus without bleeding could be an external hemorrhoid, also known as piles. Hemorrhoids are swollen veins that can develop inside or outside the anus and rectum. While often harmless and may resolve on their own, it's important to consult a doctor for diagnosis and to rule out other potential causes, especially if you experience pain or bleeding
