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?

I'm dealing with a lump near my anus that's been there for two days now. It's starting to get a bit smaller, but I'm still not feeling back to normal. It's pretty uncomfortable, and I'm not sure what's causing it. What could be going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing an anal lump, which could be due to various causes like hemorrhoids, an abscess, or even a small infection. Since it's improving but not fully gone, its important to keep the area clean and consider seeing a healthcare provider if it persists or worsens, to rule out any underlying conditions.

I've been dealing with anal fissure pain on and off since late 2019 and have been using Anovate cream with laxatives, plus increasing fiber and fluids. It's really disruptive and painful I want to get rid of it for good. Does surgery work better than these treatments? For now, I'm trying sitz baths and fiber supplements but would like to know if there are better options
While your current approach with Anovate, laxatives, increased fiber and fluids, sitz baths, and fiber supplements is a good starting point, it's understandable that you're seeking more definitive relief after experiencing anal fissures for several years. Surgery, specifically a lateral internal sphincterotomy, is often a highly effective option for chronic or refractory anal fissures, but it's also associated with a small risk of incontinence. If medical treatments haven't been successful, discussing surgical options with your doctor is a valid next step
